Live Matter is a biomaterial from sponges

Live Matter wrote: Live matter is a growing matter from a mushroom. For its growing we need a farm, very little energy and a sample hall to add to its wonderful qualities, healing biological colours. . This matter is interesting for the global vegan market as a substitute for natural leather. . We want to start a business that is responsible to animals, supportive to natural processes, needs small investment, doesn’t have risk, and brings value to the new age and our planet. . Live matter has surprisingly good behaviour as a leather with its elastic, healthy, artistic and durable qualities... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Localot

Localot wrote: Localot provides an infrastructure to connect local retailers with customers in their city. This connection is achieved through a combination of an online shop with a "last-mile" delivery system based on bicycles. On our platform, customers can learn about, compare and buy their needed goods from their local shop. Through our routing system, a bike rider fetches the ordered products picked by the retailer and delivers them within a short time period. In this process, waste is avoided through a pawn system which is based on reusable packaging (e. G. Aluminium boxes). Therefore, our customers can enjoy their locally provided and emission-freely delivered products without having to stress about going shopping for themselves... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Consider your consequences

LoRaWahn wrote: We created an app which allows the user to access all this data and to get push up notification if he does something good. Also the goal is to start to sensitize the people to know what impact every decision can have. This project only started with lorawan sensors which can controll gas, water and electricity, but it easily can be enhanced with a farm of sensors for each person. All this is achieved by telling the user how great it is what he does, and that every little bit of change is a good change. Https://deploy. Dlw2f3bpbe2qd.

Extreme weather

LoWA - Local Weather Alert wrote: We take weather forecasting to the city grid level. Collecting weather data such as temperature, humidity or even wind speed from a broad local network of sensors constituting among others so-called lorawan sensors and city weather stations, we create a unique dataset mapping the local city weather. If weather parameters reach a critical level due to extreme weather events, we are able to provide location-specific alerts tailored to the weather conditions through our api. These can be used to warn people ahead of time for example in case of extreme heat or flooding... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

UV-Reactor for cold pasteurisation

Lyras wrote: This invention relates to uv-reactor instrument for cold pasteurization of liquid food products. It utilizes uv-c light, which is well known for its germicidal properties and leaves no trace behind. In this manner, the food products being treated will remain fresh and natural. Not only does the uv-reactor treat the liquid food products with more care than traditional heat pasteurization it also uses 91 % less energy... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

John’s road west measured the worst air quality in 2018, largely due to our reliance on fossil-fuelled motor vehicle transport. As parts of dublin city centre are likely to breach eu and the who guidelines for air quality in 2019, our idea purposes encouraging cycling as the main mode of transportation in the city center in order to limit vehicular emissions. 25% of dublin workers commute from outside the city and suburbs, while approximately 1,150,000 people commute to work via car every day in ireland...

Surface water hydro kinetic turbine

MACLEC Technical Project Laboratory has developed a hydro kinetic turbine which is able to generate power in a low-velocity stream without blocking or creating any major disturbance in the flow of the water body. Being built to be installed radially over streams of water, the solution has little to no problem with debris/waste interrupting the power generation, even in areas with heavy debris build-up. For similar reasons the company states that it does not interrupt local aquatic life. The device is floating on the surface, thus being able to adjust to changing water level due to local weather.

Reduced energy shredding for solid recovered fuel production

Magnomatics will deliver the highest efficiency shredder for secondary (SRF)- Solid Recovered Fuel production by utilising magnetically geared direct-drive motor technology and a bespoke shredder system designed holistically around the motor. By removing the need for inefficient gearboxes and pulley systems commonly used in this sector the system will demonstrate the energy savings available from this novel motor technology compared with currently used IE3 motors equipped with gearboxes and pulleys.

MagnoTherm Solutions GmbH

MagnoTherm Solutions GmbH wrote: Roughly 20% of the world's electrical energy is used for cooling. Moreover, most cooling gases used as refrigerants have a global warming potential up to 4,000 higher than co2. Alternatives are inefficient and explosive or toxic. Magnetic cooling uses a special metal which heats up and cools down by magnetizing and demagnetizing it. With a higher energy efficiency of up to 40% compared to the best gas compressor available, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we cool down our medicine, food, and premises. The overall cooling sector adds up to 300 bn us-dollar in turnover per year. Without using any harmful or problematic gases, magnetic cooling is low-maintenance, safe, and environmentally-friendly...
