Treeconomy

Treeconomy wrote: We use high quality remote sensing (drone-based lidar or satellite imagery) to exactly quantify tree growth and therefore carbon captured. Land owners pay us for this service, and in return we quantify carbon sequestered on their land, package it financially, and sell it directly to companies who need to offset emissions (such as the aviation sector). We bring science and rigour to the carbon offset market, as well as smart database technology to avoid double counting. Our offset-as-a-service is entirely innovative in this space...

TreeHouse platforms for summer events

TreeHouse place wrote: The core problem is modern people’s need to reconnect with nature. Our main target are businesses, municipalities, music and adventure festival organisers who want to offer their participants unique and innovative resting places that are location specific. Current tree house lutions are permanent and harms trees, thus not always alloved. Long term goal is to provide similar solution to families. We build nature friendly wood platforms from reusable materials. Realize your childhood dreams or your eco-friendly workshops. We have collaboration projects with local governments, gaining experience, developing a team and promoting eco-tourism in the region... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

TreeSPot

TreeSPot wrote: Treespot makes it possible for cities to put trees in places where it is impossible to plant them. By creating additional green infrastructure, cities can create more people friendly urban spaces and foster climate resilience. Treespot is a smart, mobile, modular and scalable tree growing system which doesn’t require underground or pavement interventions. Mobile, modular and scalable: a treespot module- a single unit consisting of a planter, substrate, and a tree can be constructed by a single person and moved around a flat area by a one-person pallet jack/forklift. The modules link together to create a functioning and self-sustaining ecosystem- a park on top of concrete, without requiring any underground or pavement interventions...

Trilobit wrote: We provide local small and medium sized waste management companies with an automated system for separation of non-ferrous (non magnetic) metals. . Instead of transporting "useful trash" to a large separation facility in other countries, companies will be able to separate locally and sell the end product - which is raw material (copper, aluminium, zync, lead) with higher purity resulting in better price. . Our product fits into the circular economy philosophy, where industrial and everyday products are recycled back to their basic raw material and then used again and again...

Pinelinite

Tsarina Natural Wood Protection wrote: I have developed a 100% natural, non toxic and environmentally safe direct replacement for creosote, creocote and other timber protection treatments. All the ingredients come from plants, tree's and minerals from natural sustainable resources. Preparing the treatment uses zero energy, although a low power blender would be a benefit to large volume mixer. The treatment also has other uses apart from timber protection. It can also be used to protect metal from oxidation and can be used to protect other materials. It can also used to create waterproof breathable membranes from waste paper and other materials. At end of life cycle, the pinelinite can be easily recovered for reuse. It is a true 100% full cycle recyclable product... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Next level power unit cooling systems

TST wrote: . We developed a two stage approach for cooling train power units. Firstly we focused on cooling during dynamic phase via adjustable flaps, a heat transfer system and a combination of diffusors and nozzles. For static use we developed a special fan system for train station operation. Different operation phases and solutions: acceleleration phase: klappen system schließen. Diffusor-düse-system. Wärmeleitsystem. Werkstoffauswahl (für wärmeleitsystem). Drive mode. Klappen anstellen (winkel adaptieren). Latentwärmespeicher „laden“. Diffusor-düse-system. Externer wagen zur kühlung.

Sunket (Sun jacket)

TTF wrote: Sun jacket or sunket is a jacket which would be modified with solar microchips which would be woven into a fabric. The solar microchips would gather the solar energy and transform it into electricity which would power small devices like phones and tablets and maybe even laptops. The jacket itself would look apsolutely like every other jacket. The fabric would be washable and the microchips would be waterproof so in case of washing, the jacket would be safe. In the start of making the prototype, the devices would be conected with an usb cabel but in further development, we would find a better solution. The jacket would come in three different designs: everyday use (smaller power usage, more focused on the design)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Disaggregation and predictor services

Twingz detects potential fire and/or water damage before it occurs. It does this by providing a fully transparent picture of your energy consumption through monitoring individual appliances all based on the end-user’s electricity and water meters. Using data disaggregation and machine learning, the innovation can prediction and detect discrepancies in usage patterns and therefore give warnings about possible malfunction and potential damage. At the same time, usage data is continuously available to end-users.
