Building cities of eco-civilization

Bamboo Composite wrote: Our drive is to solve the global affordable housing deficit; unemployment and climate change with one solution - our bamboo composite eco-friendly affordable housing units built in ecological cities environment. Using lime & clay, bamboo and biochar as our main construction materials to replace 100 percent cement component; 95 percent steel & 95 percent timber and 50 percent sand components respectively in our housing construction. Our bamboo composite affordable housing unit stores/sinks a minimum of 20 tonnes of co2. According to un-habitat 1. 0 billion new homes are needed globally by 2025. Imagine if these homes are built green with our solution... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Vertical Farming based on Fog!

Baltic Freya wrote: Baltic freya is an agritech start up which is developing large-scale fogponic vertical farming modules for greenhouse farmers and agro-companies. Our team is focused on fogponics – the most advanced vertical farming technology so far. This innovative agriculture technology doesn’t use any soil, circular system doesn’t waste any resources - we are talking up to 95% less water and 50% less fertilizer than industrial farming. Since farming with our modules will be done indoors, your produce will be safe from harm. There will be no need for nasty pest control chemicals, there will be no fear of bad weather, floods and droughts... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

PR Green Solutions

Baje wrote: As a group we are made the solutions for present status q of public utility "čistoća". First we want to made better communication with costumers by showing them what work is done by "čistoća" an what costumer is actually paying. We understand that costumers do not realize how much job is done by čistoća in one day so we suggest that they improve their app and work on social media. By that costumers can actually see what job is done and what it has to be done. Second solution is to invest in promotion with domestic celebrities who can make an impact within the people and encourage them to be more responsible with trash...

Use no-longer-usable textiles

Back to life wrote: People tend to buy new clothes, wear it for some time until it becomes used. Then they either. Collect it in their closets or just throw away into the dump and buy new one. So this circle goes. Again and again. Our idea is to collect already used textile to create new unique products (clothes, accessories). This is one of the ways how we could reduce the amount of textile in landfills and show that even old fabric can be brought back to life again... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

B-Preg

B-Preg wrote: B-preg technology offers recyclable, high performance and lightweight natural fiber reinforced biocomposites for the transportation industry to help in fuel-efficiency and lowering co2 emissions. To be more precise; a parcel shelf of a passanger car produced with b-preg biocomposite saves %60 of production cycle time and %43 of weight compared with a parcel shelf produced with current materials. Being responsible for global warming by generating ¼ of total co2 emissions in the world, transportation industry is faced with strict regulations (to reduce emissions otherwise pay penalties). Thus, vehicle lightweighting solutions b-preg offers is a key for future... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

A dispatchable solar power system

The innovation is a temporary energy storage solution for thermal energy. This is done using a phase-change material based on aluminum, which is liquefied by the heat produced. When electricity is required, the heat in the material is transferred from the phase-change material via a heat transfer fluid to a Stirling engine, where the energy is converted to electricity. The thermal energy input can be excess electricity from e.g. solar panels or wind turbines, or heat from concentrated solar energy. This solution allows for storage and releasing of energy on demand based on the needs of the electricity grid.

Awganic Feeds

Awganic Feeds wrote: Since 2014 the brown algae sea weed known as sargassum has been inundating the caribbean coast, costing tourism interest over us$6 billion dollars in lost revenue and another us$120 million in clean up costs. Awganic inputs processes this sargassum combining it will locally available organic agro-processing waste to produce a feed that is targeted to goat industry as a beach head. Data from 2014 says jamaica imported us$15 million worth of goat meat with yearly increases , with this the government of jamaica has seen it fit to increase the national goat herd from 700,000 to 3 million. (outside of theft) farmers report access to affordable feed as the primary issue... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
