ELFD-smokeless biomass stove

Replace traditional cooking stoves with a version that requires no external energy source(except biomass as fuel) to function. Additionally the innovation provides the fuel combustion process with more air than traditional techniques, resulting in more efficient use of fuel and less harmful biproducts.

Elevator modernization

Elevator-KERS wrote: Components of elevator system, depending on the situation, have excess gravitational potential energy that goes to waste. Our solution stores and utilizes this energy by hydraulic kinetic energy recovery system- kers. This way, overall elevator electricity consumption is decreased by 10%. Not much per elevator, but there’re 80000 new elevator units each year so savings sum up significantly.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Tubular PEM fuel cell with a small footprint

Traditional Proto-exchange membrane designs have several issues related to them. With this in mind, Elicius Energy has developed a lightweight and air-breathing tubular Proto-exchange membrane (PEM). The tubular design eliminates the need for the traditionally used bipolar plates that comes with significant water and heat management issues. By replacing these, many issues are removed as well as allowing air to be transported between individual cells, which prevents overheating and letting the fuel cell operate at ambient temperatures. In addition to the beforementioned, the new design can lead to reduced system costs.

IPlant

Elos wrote: Iplant app for small urban producers in curitiba. Based on the large amount of organic and plastic waste that doesn't receive the correct destination and the species plant variety with food potential that aren't used by humans, was decided to create a digital platform called iplant. The iplant application aims at environmental education, the reuse of plastic materials, the creation of autonomy and the possibility of additional income from urban domestic agriculture...

Accelerating Climate Finance

Emmi wrote: The financial community has an enormous negative exposure to climate change (banks bank agriculture, climate change occurs, agriculture fails, banks lose money). . For the market to respond effectively to the growing climate risks, carbon risks must be fully identified, quantified and priced. . The market is, however, currently unable to quantify carbon risks due primarily to the existence of multiple structural and process barriers. These barriers have created political and trust-related risks that have stymied climate action for the last three decades. Now, emerging technologies offer a way forward. . We propose emmi as the decentralised governance platform that is needed to overcome the structural barriers inherent to the status quo... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Real-time grid balancing platform 

Enbala Power Networks have developed a platform called “Concerto™” for real-time grid-balancing. Concerto™ is both a Virtual Power Plant (“VPP”) and a Distributed Energy Resource Management System that features interoperable, multi-service optimization with reliable real-time, non-disruptive, constraint-based operations to deliver long term value at all levels of the power delivery system. The platform has the potential to improve energy efficiency by its power monitoring and management system, reducing the amount of energy wasted.

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.
