First Serbian bamboo plantation

Bambooing wrote: Bambooing is a project within whom first serbian bamboo plantation is planned to be established. Since bamboo is not native to europe and european countries import over 50% of world’s bamboo production, this opens new and interesting commercial opportunities that uroboros through bambooing is going to pursue. Realization of this project will allow new branches of existing industries to develop within region or the new ones to emerge- bamboo usage can find its place in every niche: furniture and woodwork, textile, food. Bamboo has so many uses that is up to producers/ customers what their preference will be, not excluding other bamboo growing benefits... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Rooftop solar system with DC appliances

Basil Energetics Private Limited wrote: Super efficient dc appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, fans, pumps and lights enable drastically reduced power & energy. They run directly from the dc of the solar panels without any inverter. A smart nano grid which monitors the power availability in the panels and the load demand, automatically decides to run the appliances from solar, grid power or both. Excess energy can be fed back to the power grid. For remote areas without access to grid, battery storage is possible. Due to the much lower demand for energy, the battery capacity is drastically reduced. Compared to conventional solar system, in basil system, the capex is reduced by at least 50% and the opex by around 75%... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Smart micro-grid for clean energy

Basil Energetics offers a solution to manage green power at the tail end or at the load end of the grid. This helps to cater for both urban and rural areas through its decentralized approach. The offered solution is provided in the form of a package, consisting of standalone solar panels, but also includes a range of innovative hybrid household electrical appliances such as a ceiling fan, LED lights, air conditioner, refrigerator etc. The demand and supply is managed using a smart micro-grid (SMG) controller, called an iGrid. This scheme eliminates the requirement of electrical conversions, particularly DC to AC in hybrid appliances, to a large extent.

Removal of microplastic by nature

Batea Biotech wrote: Batea biotech is on a mission to remove microplastic found in the water used by fish farmers. Microplastic, small particles of plastic, will be taken up by the fish and eventually accumulate in the human body, when we eat the fish. The value of our idea lays in the innovative way, we will, remove the microplastic completely. Using only the flow energy and natural inspired components our filter can not only remove more microplastic than the current products, but they will also be saving the fish farmers from using electricity. Hereby, providing the fish farmers with a cheaper and more sustainable production and a more clean product to sell!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
