Automatically created transport solutions for events

Existing transport infrastructure often reaches its capacity limits at events, for example, which is why alternative solutions are required at short notice. Triply offers a possibility to estimate the arrival routes of the visitors in advance and to provide alternative mobility solutions for the transport. Finding stops and routing are optimized by an underlying triply algorithm, which saves money and valuable time. Triply offers a possibility to clearly display the coverage of public transport systems and to visualize the effects of changes on the accessibility. The interactive map can be used as a basis for planning or for external communication.

Electricity from waste heat

A substantial part of the energy used in the world is wasted as heat. Climeon AB has developed a solution to convert waste heat with temperatures between 70 and 120 °C into electricity through a vacuum process. One of the company’s key sectors is the marine sector where the Climeon Ocean™ solution converts waste heat from ship engines, creating up to several GWh of “free” electricity each year. The company claims that for some ships, that translates into a savings of more than 1,000 metric tons of fuel or 3,000 metric tons of CO₂ per year. An even larger sector is steel where Swedish steel producer SSAB running Climeon Ocean™ at their production site in Borlänge.

Cloop

Cloop wrote: Cloop provides opportunities for underprivileged communities (such as the urban poor, women, and persons with disabilities) to earn additional income while also reducing the amount of plastic waste reaching landfills and waterways. Cloop creates micro-enterprises in these communities and equips them with relatively low-cost and easy-to-use plastic recycling technology. Called cloopcenters, these community micro-enterprises are partnered with other enterprises in the private and public sector, who provide their plastic waste. This is processed through the cloopcenter and sold back to these enterprises in the form of upcycled plastic products... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Organic flow batteries

CMBlu Energy AG develop large-scale organic flow batteries for electrical grids. Their energy storage systems are based on renewable resources as a key technology for the energy transition and enable nationwide grid infrastructure for electromobility. The organic electrolytes are produced from the natural source lignin, which is available in almost unlimited amounts in the pulp and paper industry. Lignin derivates are obtained very cost- effective from waste streams of existing mills. They claim that their technology enables storage capacities of 1250 GWh every year only using existing infrastructure
