GreenPACT City

GreenPACT City wrote: The target is to reduce co2 emissions by 50% (agenda 2030). Greenpact city offers an online portal to citizens and municipalities to monitor the direct emissions of family units. The portal calculates citizens’ carbon footprint. We will convert the information from citizens bills and daily activities in total amount of carbon dioxide emitted. The web-portal will provide a simple, elegant and visual way for the family unit of monitoring their carbon dioxide emissions. The municipality establishes the annual co2 target for each household and through the monitoring of the portal, virtuous citizens are rewarded. Virtuous habits and behaviours of citizens reduce the cost of the investments necessary to reach the 2030 agenda... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Natural compost building material

Hempstatic wrote: 50% of global carbon emissions stem from heating, cooling and constructing buildings. Currently, there is only little awareness concerning this issue. Hempcrete is a natural composite building material. It consists of hemp shives (derived from the wooden inner core of industrial hemp stalks), lime-based binder and water. Our hempcrete block is a construction material that can be used to assemble walls, roofs and floors and can be adjusted to all types of buildings. More carbon dioxide is sequestered in a hempcrete wall than is used to build it. Thus, hempcrete blocks outperform zero-carbon materials and allow building carbon-negative structures...
