WIND my ROOF

WIND my ROOF wrote: To meet the new environmental goals, we came-up with the first horizontal roof-mounted wind turbines, positioned on the edge of flat roofs. These wind turbines take the form of a streamlined turbine of 2m long and 1. 5m high, for an annual output of 1 mwh. Thanks to a reduced weight and space compared to existing solutions, we bring a product more discreet and more powerful, adapted to an urban exploitation. Noise and visual disturbances have been removed by optimization of the whole design. The positioning on the edge makes this wind turbine fully compatible and complementary to a solar installation, and allows real estate developers to increase up to 25% the production of electricity on their roofs...

ReNew Cafe

J.F.T. - JellyFish Team wrote: Starting from the economical part, our idea concerns to consider private funders who might be interested in being associated with the idea of the repair cafè or might gain some other benefits by funding it. Private funders may be: companies selling tools for repairers: a growth of the repair community means more people interested in tools. Social cooperative working for the re-integration of jailed/disable/socially disadvantaged people might be interested in having repairers who can teach them a new skill they can spend on the market. Green tech companies who want to find a new way to promote themselves (e. G. Companies working with renewables)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Converting agro-waste to raw materials

Beyond wrote: We want to utilise local bio-resources (mainly considered waste) & convert them to value added products in a bio-refinery type concept. The motivation behind this idea is the readily available bio (waste) resources, eg. Coconut husk, surplus rice straw, bamboo, etc. And a large growth market where the products can find place, i. E. The road construction industry. For starters, we want to create binders from our agro-waste and use it as a partial replacement for bitumen in the road construction sector. Such a process has already been proven by european research groups, who would be our eventual partners in the project... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Waste to Wealth Innovative Technologies LLP wrote: We develop microbial processes to treat dairy waste water to generate value added product like biofertilizer that can replace use of chemical fertilizer and fresh water for irrigation. The crop production increases, ensuring healthy food, the fresh water misuse (90%) for agriculture is stopped while the dairy industry saves on land use for effluent treatment plant construction (reduced by 75%), saves on electricity for processing (by 90%), reduces time of treatment (7. 5times) and hence efficiency of the plant. In addition they become a zero discharge company which produces biofertilizer... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
