High Efficiency Carbon Fiber Manufacturing

We have invented the world’s fastest carbon fiber reinforced composites production process that results in a new higher standard for materials and parts, lower cost and minimal impact on the environment. Corebon is establishing carbon fiber production based on bio-based raw material, through dramatically lower energy usage, lower capex, higher throughput and increased process control. In addition, there is a 50% reduction in combustible and occupationally harmful off-gassing during the oxidation phase.

An online meal market for takeaway food

Mahlzeit wrote: Every year in households with 1 person 98 kg of food is wasted. There is millions of people living alone in larger cities. If there are just 2 people in a household the food waste per person per year is reduced with 34%. It is difficult in households of 1 to cook meals from scratch because ingredients are often bought in bulk and after cooking 1 meal the unused ingredients eventually end up in the trash bin. Mahlzeit proposes a way to share meals more easily within neighborhoods to reduce food waste, help homechefs earn money, make homecooked meals available to everyone and to create a more diverse market of takeaway food. The product is a web app, a two-sided platform, where users either buy food, sell food or both... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Disrupting social housing challenge

Abundance.HOME wrote: Within the next 30 years a humongous need for new buildings will occur. An estimated population growth up to ~9 billion humans besides an additional worldwide movement of 20% into urban areas. The result will be an increased scarcity which will lead to estimated 1/3 of urban dwellers (1. 6 billion !) who will struggle to secure decent housing by 2025. Only in germany there is an annual need of 80. 000 of social housing units. . Sadly by today, the construction industry is already by far the largest consumer of raw materials on the planet. 35% of global waste is accounted by construction and demolition activities. New approaches are urgently needed. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Solar-Windmill wrote: Symbiosis of wind and solar renewable energy production in the way that they complement each other for region with moderate number of windy or sunny days, and with best performance for places which has it both. Solar windmill can work above the pv cells field without interfering their work, and use leftover heat energy from them, and surpassing wind energy above them. With better usage of occupied space it can also prolong duration of electric production... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Recovery of thermal energy from buildings and industrial wastewater

Evertherm SEW is an energy recovery system with focus on sewage water. The innovation can recover approximately 95 % of the energy spent in wastewater by removing it from the sewage system and recirculating it back approximately twenty times. Thereby reintroducing heated water into different systems and increasing it’s potential. The innovation also includes control system that allows it to be integrated with digitalized properties. The carbon fiber solutions replace heavier, lower-performance materials where it benefits the customer and saves the environment.

Transformational workspaces for e-waste

E-cowork wrote: Technology is great, until it stops working. Which is when climate heroes come in and whisk the product away for recycling. Only that, in most cases, specially in developing countries, the recycling is done by very low-skilled informal entrepreneurs at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid. And in dismal conditions, with immense health and environmental costs and few safeguards - whether legal, social or financial. E-[co]work is about creating co-working spaces for these small and micro eco-entrepreneurs, providing not only affordable and safe spaces with the right tools and technologies to be more efficient and productive, but more importantly enabling them to access products (eg...

Crop based construction blocks

Industrial Nature wrote: The company has researched and developed three types of insulating crop-based construction blocks. These are unique in that they both insulate, store heat, provide structure and passively regulate temperature and humidity - all with local and natural materials. They outperform conventional insulation materials and have a better than zero carbon footprint due to the carbon sequestration in the crop-based aggregate. They. Are also better than zero waste because they can be reprocessed or recycled at end of life. They are designed to positively disrupt the global mainstream building sector...
