Air purifying/conditioning from the sun

Sun for Clean Air wrote: The idea of business presents an air conditioning installation that efficiently uses. Solar energy, reduces air pollution and produces energy in the form of hot water. The use of the installation will be imposed by the advantages it presents compared to air conditioning systems existing on the market: it does not consume electricity, uses a renewable energy source, simultaneously produces hot water, sterilizes the air thermally, retains the solid and liquid impurities in water,. During functioning the installation does not produce co2 or other gases. It can achieve the climatization of a locality. It is scalable from 1 kw to 100 kw...

Utilisation of juice pulp waste

Pulpy Crisps wrote: As young people studying in the field of biology and caring about the environment, we discovered a great opportunity to reduce the waste from juice production by implementing the thrown out pulp in a fruity desert. It will be a great healthy alternative to the existing unhealthy snacks. At the same time our idea will help with the development of the circular economy and the sustainability in our country. This is why we are motivated to further develop our idea and bring it to life!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

HomeShield

HomeShield wrote: Natural disasters and climate change have a catastrophic impact on infrastructure, economy, society and human lives. Without defining a building’s resilience factor and conducting a risk assessment, property owners are unaware of the natural disasters’ risk and unprepared to face it. Homeshield e-platform helps in rating the property's vulnerability (or resistance) towards natural disasters. Feeding with data the e-platform will a)result in a property’s risk percentage as well as b)provide a way to reduce risk and damage in the event of natural disaster, speed up recovery and potentially obtain insurance cover more easily and affordably...

Green social network

TrackEarthON wrote: Interactive social network that will challenge inner competitiveness among consumers, through collecting “green points” from bought food products. Such competitiveness has ability to create a critical public mass that can further attract the food production industry by favorising parties that invest in green technologies. Altogether, it will increase the public awareness about the climate change and how their daily choices (can) impact it: think globally, act locally!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Biodegradable single use straws

Single Use Straw wrote: Plastic is well known as the new thread. The challenge to abandon single use plastic products is being encouraged, with straws to be one of the main products to be demolished. How can this become a fact, when there is great use of it these days and in some cultures, a necessity to enjoy the every day cold coffee or drink? . We are offering an alternative to plastic straws! - o - straws are made 100% by natural organic materials, using a mixture of wheat, natural resin and our secret formula, using organic leftovers such as peals from. Carrots and potatoes. A natural blend that can be used once and then thrown away without feeling guilty about it... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

StoreConnect

StoreConnect wrote: Denmark being the country with one of the highest shares of fluctuating wind energy in the world, it is a predestined role model for the aimed further development around the world. This leading role makes it a unique test centre for energy storage solutions, where we saw the need for a solution, which was fast to implement to overcome today's already existing problems. The underlying basis for our proposal is an existing solution, which uses kinetic energy to store the produced electricity as potential energy. This is done with concrete blocks which are lifted by a six-armed crane, with an intelligent control system to manage its movements, and therefore without the need for height differences in the terrain...

Desalinating sea water

Aqua Ziwa wrote: With our solution we are able to desalinate 2000l of sea water in an hour into drinkable water. The whole solution is estimated to cost 380. 000€ per unit and does not require many maintenance nor special employee to operate it. Our sollution could be applied into variable areas like ports, hotels, govrnments, but our beachhead market are privately owned islands. As the owners of them are usually also supporters of green technology we believe we'll also with their support have easier antrance in muncipality and government markets...
