Deep-well geothermal heating and cooling system

The QHEAT product is a geothermal heating and cooling system, utilizing geothermal heat wells. The innovative part of the solution is the depth of the well, which is around 2000 meters (compared to conventional residential geothermal heating systems that are around 300 meters). The product can provide seasonal energy storage. Several buildings can be connected to one well in a low-temperature energy network, allowing for energy to be exchanged between buildings in the network. The innovation also includes more energy efficient technology compared to conventional geothermal heating for residents. The innovation would replace conventional heating and cooling solutions, based on burning of fossil fuels.

Reusable paper

EcoPad wrote: Ecopad is aimed to reduce the consumption of paper in an office environment and daily use. Using microwave technology, ecopad paper can be reused several times, in contrast to traditional methods of disposal and recycling. By using the ecopad application, users can save their information digitally and have access to the storage from their smartphones and computers on demand. The information can be safely stored in multiple platforms of choice (i. E. Gmail, dropbox, etc. ) allowing the user to revise it anytime. Even nowadays, notepads are the primary tool for notetaking in many industries. The list of customers is vast, but the our target consumers are from office environments, banks and universities...

Solid oxide system technologies for energy

Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are electrochemical conversion devices that can be operated as fuel cells (SOFCs) that produce electricity, and as electrolysis cells (SOECs) that produce hydrogen. SOFCs can be distinguished by their high operating temperatures which enables them to use a larger number of fuels. The fuel flexibility and modular design of SOFCs make them suitable for a wide range of power applications. SOFCs can run on biogas, hydrogen and even natural gas. When running on renewable biogas or hydrogen, emissions are carbon-neutral and zero-carbon, respectively. When running on natural gas, the carbon dioxide that is generated during the electrochemical process is 50 % less than by other gas-based generators.

Solar powered spirits distiller

Katjet wrote: Every year a big amount of fruits and berries are spoiled due to the deficiency of processing technologies and big energy consumption. We will produce solar powered spirits distiller for farmers, do installation and service. Distilled spirits will be realized as bio-fuel. This will solve the utilization problems in agricultural field by utilizing extra amounts of fruits and berries and produce extra income for communities and farms. With our technology farmers will implement clear alcohol and spirits production, reduce atmospheric pollution and energy consumption by using clear and free power of sun and obtain clean and cheap bio-fuel, which will be used for heat generation during could season...

Peapod is an air quality tracking app

Kippitech wrote: What if you got rewarded for walking, cycling or using public transportation?. We are working with edinburgh napier university to achieve precisely this. . Peapod is an air quality tracker app that allows you to plan journeys whilst getting “rewards for steps" and "low carbon travelling”. . Peapod costs nothing to download. In exchange, users produce mobility data. We sell mobility data to businesses so brands can offer consumers the right discounts, at the right time. In fact, peapod allows brands to access a new commercialization channel (geolocating customers at the right time, when is relevant to them).. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure

The Parking Energy innovation is a cable system that can be installed at existing parking infrastructure to enable EV charging capabilities. Large residential and office parking stations can be retrofitted to meet the needs of the growing EV fleet. The business is built around the charging as-a-service model, which is further made possible by allowing various types of charging stations to be installed rather than a singular coupling. The innovation can reduce emissions in urban areas by enabling the procurement of electromobility options.

Ecofriendly biodiesel

Advanced Biofuel wrote: Our product is biodiesel which is produced from used cooking oil. Our beachhead market is armenian crop producing farmers in the neighbor communities of yerevan. Biodiesel is from 20% to 30% cheaper than fossil diesel. Our product does not require vehicle modifications or special fueling equipment - just pump and go. In 5 years our annual profit will be 600,000 eur resulting from sales of 10,000 barrels. Compared with fossil diesel, usage of biodiesel results in low amount of regulated pollutants (nitrogen oxides (nox), particulate matter (pm), carbon monoxide (co), hydrocarbons (hc), etc. ) and dramatically decreases ghg emissions to the atmosphere...
