The technological pavements company

Pavnext wrote: Pavnext consists of an equipment to implement in the road pavement surface of speed reduction areas, where vehicles needs to dissipate energy to reduce their speeds, that is able to harvest vehicle's kinetic energy and with a very high conversion efficiency transforms it into electrical energy, which can be injected into the grid or used locally in electrical applications as road illumination or traffic light signs, being more relevant if connected to the urban micro grids. It's also adapted to the smart cities, by providing information about traffic and speeds, supporting road safety... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

PedalaMI

PedalaMI wrote: Yezers team wants to develop a new software ecosystem (composed by a web platform and a mobile app) called “pedalami”, that can help municipalities developing sustainable mobility by encouraging the use of bicycles in cities and by raising funds for cycling paths through an innovative business model, founded on cooperation between public and private companies. The web platform of “pedalami” involves private companies for the financing of the construction project. Through our platform, companies can acquire unconventional advertising spaces on the cycle paths (existing or in construction). Those spaces will be allocated with a dynamic price mechanism and with variable durations... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Electric pedal vehicles for last-mile delivery

Transport of passengers or small packages over short distances in urban areas is heavily reliant on conventional vehicles utilising internal combustion engine (ICE) technology. Peddlesmart’s innovation involves zero-emissions [at point of use], pedal electric vehicles capable of carrying people or small freight loads. Current models in development can carry loads of up to 200kg with 350kg and 500kg models in development. Significant carbon emissions can be avoided in comparison to conventional ICE technology.

Sustainable solar heating for agriculture

Pelenergy wrote: In the 15th century, growers developed methods of artificially heating greenhouses to grow food in the winter. Today, more than 500 years later, pelenergy is revolutionizing the way greenhouses are heated. We have developed a unique method of capturing and storing solar heat for use on demand. Our system arrives in a shipping container which has been specially designed to be easily moved and assembled, and is compatible with any standard greenhouse system. The low initial cost and maintenance, along with no fuel expenses helps growers increase profits while providing a fast return on investment... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

PeriDeals

PeriDeals wrote: A free app that gives college students real-time access to local markdown deals on meat and dairy. By securely integrating with inventory management software of participating stores, we may reliably provide our users with real time access to these deals. Stores win because they receive marketing focused on reducing inventory shrink and increasing foot traffic, while students win because they are given a valuable resource to save money on a balanced diet...

Perimat

Perimat wrote: Because of increasing fish demand and shrinking fisheries, aquaculture gradually replaces fish catch. Aquaculture still has to overcome few challenges- waste treatment and expensive fish-based feed are the main ones. Perimat is able to do both jobs- filter fish effluents in a reasonable areal rate and the biomass produced is able to replace 30% of fish feed, and in addition, reduce considerable ghg emissions. By doing so, perimat makes aquaculture more sustainable and profitable... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Blockchain for tracking solar energy generation

Sello Sol a certification developed by Phineal allows tracing the solar energy generation on its place of origin through the use of blockchain technology. The data is measured and processed to add value by using it in products, services and transactions as verifiable, transparent and secure information. Phineal states that the blockchain methodology has been tested by companies and public institutions and it is being developed in Latin America for the world

Business model for hydrogen generation and supply  

H2PV is a business program of Phineal, which seeks to develop a business model for generation and supply of hydrogen obtained from photovoltaic energy. The energy production disconnected from the electrical network can be utilized for energy storage, fuel cells and transport systems with internal combustion engines dual and other applications combined with other hydrocarbons. Introduction of hydrogen can enhance their energy properties and emission reduction.
