Smart air dome space for recreation facilities

Traditional recreational facilities are costly to build and to operate. The Air Dome saves on construction time and cost. Due to the airtight feature and high efficiency insulation system, the MetaSpace Air Dome could save 2/3 of the energy cost compared with conventional sports facilities of the same size. MetaSpace Air Dome uses high performance architectural fabric as the dome’s “shell”. This is prefabricated off-site, and then assembled and inflated by an intelligent mechanical unit to form the envelope of the structure. The Air Dome combines advances in aeromechanics, new materials, ergonomics, energy saving and environmental protection to provide space for recreational facilities, logistic and warehousing centers.

Renewable gas for industrial process heat

Meva Energy provides modularized and pre-manufactured turn-key gasification systems to generate renewable industrial gas or power based on small fraction fuels. The technology converts solid biomass to renewable biogas or to combined heat and power (CHP). The plant technology offers a small-scale decentralized and circular energy system which enables gas or CHP production with very high efficiencies and a minimum of distribution and parasitic losses. The innovation was created with the intention of improving air quality, reducing fossil fuel-based emissions, improve soil quality as well as to inspire and promote renewable and circular solutions.

Mi-Hub

Mi-Hub wrote: Mi-hub is a new mobility experience, integrated and shared. We think that through an hubs system it is possible to choose the mean of transport, eg car sharing, car pooling, public transportation or soft mobility, based on customer needs,(comfort, cost and time). To reach an hub it is foreseen the use of an on demand last mile service provided by a shareable electrically assisted rickshaw with a pay-as-you-go rate. The substription to the service can be both "pay as you go" or a monthly/yearly fee. The customer can manage its trip through an app... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Micro Catch

Micro Catch wrote: Micro catch is a solution for filtering microfibers during the washing cycle of synthetic clothes in our homes - preventing these from ending up in our oceans. Our innovation lies within (1) the development of an innovative technology that will not only contain/filter the microfibers but also degrade them and; (2) doing it in a way to allow for multiple product applications. We will develop a solution with plastic degradation capabilities and self-cleaning function that can be integrated directly in washing machines (and, in the future, other applications such as waste water treatment facilities, food processing water treatment, etc. )...

An algae based wastewater treatment technology

MicroChar wrote: The main problems in the waste water treatment plants nowadays are connected to the sludge management and sludge disposal, due to the waste’s harsh chemical content, incorporated into the sludge through the chemical treatment. Our technology is offering a unique solution to these problems. Through microalgae biological treatment and biochar filtration we are eliminating the need of any chemical additives, which results in a final sludge product that is totally reusable as a fertilizer in the agriculture and is also a source of a high quality biogas...

Thin CIGS solar cells

Midsummer’s innovation Midsummer Slim, which is a solar panel composed of thin film CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) solar cells. The solar panel is ultra-thin with a thickness of 2 mm and an average weight of 3 kg/m2. The panel can be integrated into roofing materials such as folded sheet roofs and roof tiles, and it can also be mounted externally on existing roofs. It has a nominal effect of 144 Wp and a production capacity of 100 Wp/m2. The manufacturer information states that the panel has a maximum efficiency of 16 % at a cellular level.

Mighty Meat

Mighty Meat wrote: Might meat provides high quality, nutritious food to an ever-growing population of people who are ditching or reducing animal meat in their diets. . The purpose is to become a viable replacement for animal-based meats. Most people who stop or decrease their meat consumption don't do so for taste reasons. The concerns heavily centre around animal welfare, environment and health, so we're providing similar flavours and textures to what people have traditionally enjoyed, minus the devastation of mass animal agriculture. ...
