Enabling sustainable aquaculture

Synthesea wrote: More than 50% of fish eaten around the world come from aquafarms. However, fish need omega-3 to grow healthily and be nutritious. Wild fish are caught and crushed into fish oil, which is then fed to the farmed fish as a source of omega-3. . This means aquaculture contributes to overfishing. One third of all the fish caught around the world are used as feed, not eaten by humans, and the price of wild fish continues to rise as fish consumption continues to grow. . We provide a cheap and sustainable alternative to wild fish derived omega-3. We are developing a bacterial strain that coverts plant oil into a cheaper and purer omega-3, circumventing the need for wild fish... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

To lobby for a change like this, a thorough study is needed that would contain reliable information about the current situation in nyíregyháza, underlining the importance of the new regulation. Locally, the new regulation would give a basis for two things: sanctions, since there (hopefully) would be clear-cut emission limits; and... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Building blocks for LED lighting system

Tailor-Made Led Lighting Solutions wrote: Led lighting is emblematic of the emerging clean revolution technologies, which promise minimal environmental impact, generate immense economic value, and have the power to change our lives for the better. . But like any new technology, they face barriers to adoption from a market. . The price premium on led lighting products still remains high, and the initial purchase price represents a significant barrier to decision makers when considering an initial investment in general lighting applications. . The core of our innovative led system proposition is the modular approach to luminaire design and manufacturing. It comprises of small number of types of building blocks for led lighting products...

Portable biomass densification technology

Takachar developed technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and licensed it in order to develop small-scale, low-cost, portable biomass treatment systems that can be attached to the back of tractors, trailers, or even donkey carts. The innovation can be deployed on farms in remote areas to take small pockets of biomass residues and process them onsite into a chemically densified form that is moisture-resistant and volumetrically dense. This can reduce the logistical, collection, and disposal cost by about 75% compared to current alternatives such as baling and pelleting. The innovation therefore provides farmers with a cost-effective way to clear their land of crop residues after harvest.

Energy efficient portable cold chain solution

The innovation is a cooling box with a fast-charging eutectic thermal battery. According to the company, they have reduced the common 14-15 hour charging time to 4.5 hours. This helps increase viability of the battery as well a serving as a reduction of operational costs. By combining this battery with stand-alone cooling boxes, the company allows for stacking of individual boxes, thus reducing the need for refrigerated trucks. The company states that the cooling solution can be used on most vehicles including two-wheelers.
