Power balancing energy solution

Enequi has developed a ‘power balancing’ solution, which helps users make as much as possible of their energy. The solution includes a scalable battery which is automatically charged using power from the grid when the electricity cost is low, then to be used whenever needed. In order to integrate with solar and other renewable energy sources, the system is also able to store energy from granular production solutions. Furthermore, the power balancing also adapts the energy consumption in demanding processes to avoid overloading the system, thus enabling reduction of repair and maintenance.

BrightClouds

BrightClouds wrote: Proposal to reduce the warming effect of co2 in the atmosphere by increasing the earth’s albedo by enhancing low-level marine clouds. This is achieved through a seawater spray installed on existing cargo ships going about their normal voyages. . Brightclouds will act as an intermediary between the future carbon levy regulator for shipping and shipowners to inform, facilitate, verify, and process the data and payments. Shipowners would gain an additional stream of revenue for installing and operating the spray systems... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Green Aqua

Green Aqua wrote: India is having 4% of world's fresh water, out of which 80% is used in agriculture. Green aqua will enable traditional farmers to transform their agriculture practices into sustainable method of farming by mimicking natural ecosystem in the farm environment. Our idea works on very basic principle of nitrogen cycle. Water with fish excreta is used as a source of nutrition and the same water is being recirculated for growing fish and vegetables and thereby saving 95% of water. Chemical pesticide usage is another pain point which leaves its residue on leaves and different parts of plants... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
