Nabosol - Cosharing of roofs for solar panels

Nabosol wrote: Our idea is to bring together homeowners with roofs usable for pv-panel installation, with other homeowners or companies without available roof space, but willingness to invest in renewable energy. The solution includes installation of batteries to help with the flexibility of the energy system. Each private actors will get their part of share as energy price reduction, and the surplus energy will be stored in batteries and sold back to the grid when it`s profitable...

NachbarStrom

NachbarStrom wrote: Nachbarstrom provides a software plugin for the solar industry to automatically visualize their customers solar potential. We believe that the future of energy is autarchy. To maximize this autarchy we support three cornerstones: 1) the production of solar energy on private rooftops. 2) decentralized storage facilities . 3) electric mobility solution. We enable people to understand their autarchy potential with an ease. Based on ai technology and 2d satellite pictures our service is applicable even without 3d data available...

Nanomik Biotechnology

Nanomik Biotechnology wrote: According to reports presented by fao, each year in the world, approximately 1. 3 billion tons fresh fruit and vegetables are produced; however, approximately 25% of production is lost because of crop-destroyer fungi spoilage in the post-harvest process. To solve this fungi problem, harmful chemical fungicides are used to prevent fungi spoilage in both pre- and post-harvest periods. But these chemicals are very harmful to human health and nature. To solve this problem we launched our first product mikoks. Mikoks contains natural plant based fungi killer microcapsules. They can be used in different stage for different fruits. In citrus they can be used in postharvest, although for grapes mikoks used in pre-harvest stage... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Transparent, heat reflecting nanotech

NanoScreen wrote: Up to 40% of electricity costs in office buildings are due to air-conditioning and with dwindling energy resources, there is a need of new energy-efficient products on the market. At present, opaque and translucent window films are used to cut out the amount of light and heat entering a room. Yet, these can only stop a small portion of heat from entering, while compromising the transparency of glass windows. That is the reason we came up with an innovative energy-saving solution: nanoscreen. . Nanoscreen is a unique, transparent polymer-based screen embedded with special ir-reflecting nanoparticles, therefore reducing the cost of air-conditioning...

Solar concentrator thermal stove with heat storage

The solution consists of a solar-based indoor stove. The stove is innovative because it is meant to be used in-doors. This could have many positive effects from less environmental impact to reducing the human health impacts from traditional means of indoor cooking.

Solid-state refrigerator

India's National Physical Laboratory has developed a portable, solid state cooling technology that does not require the compressor or refrigerant found in conventional refrigerators. It can therefore be operated at a low-power supply of only 75 Watts DC, e.g. directly from solar photovoltaic cells and batteries. The purpose of the innovation is two-fold: first, as a low-cost comfort and food storage solution to rural populations, and second, to compliment India’s immunization program for rural populations of children by storing vaccines at low temperatures. With a long lifespan and needing little maintenance, the solid state cooler maintains 5 °C at an ambient temperature of 40 °C but can cool to -2 °C if required.

Edible Water

Nature:1 Carbon : 0 wrote: This project, named as the ooho project by rodrigo garcia gonzalez and pierre paslier, came to life in london in 2013 and was defined as the project of the future by 949 investors and supported by the eu. The aim of this project is to reduce or even finish the consumption of plastic bottles, glasses and types. While only 20% of the plastic bottles and species produced in the world are recycled, most of them damage the oceans and soil for hundreds of years. Recycling is achieved by consuming more energy than bottle production in the 20% recycled part. The ooho project was named notpla after the support it received and the researches continued in the laboratory... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Solar-driven ferries

NavAlt envisions a more efficient water transport system which doesn’t use fossil fuels. Navalt’s inland passenger transport solution, a solar-powered ferry, does not pollute the air or water. This also avoids smells from diesel. It has low noise and vibration, lowering rates of noise pollution. The ferry reduces the daily operating cost to 1/40th of a diesel ferry. The innovation has been tested and used for prolonged periods of time, succeeding in the beforementioned factors.

Industrial high productivity CO2 recycling equipment

NeoCarbons wrote: Migration from fossils means alternative ways of sourcing raw materials. Since all carbon chains, whether for foods, feeds, chemical industries, come from co2, neocarbons is proposing a patented equipment that can capture and transform co2 from industrial sources into high value chemicals, on a real time basis (zero net), competitively, profitably and in respect of sustainable development principles. On a 5 m2 footprint the solution recycles 165 tons of co2 annually; it is conceived to be easily upscaled into industrial production plants in order to tap to tap the 20 gt of industrial co2 rich gaseous effluents.
