Modular solar system and DC micro-grid for off-grid applications

Modular solar system and DC micro-grid for off-grid applications

SolarWorXUG has developed a modular solar solution for households and small businesses in off-grid areas. Each system can accommodate a 80 Wh or 160 Wh battery and two 50 W solar panels. Individual systems can be interconnected with their DC micro-grid modules so that energy-intense appliances, such as milling machines, can be powered and the security of supply for each connected household is increased. The introduction of solar power can lower the dependency on diesel fueled generators in remote areas.

Smart garbage collection system

Smart garbage collection system

Smart Recycling uses sensors in recycling containers to read how full they are and uses AI to predict when they need to be emptied, which is then compiled for users in an app. Based on settings such as how far in the future one wants to plan and what level the containers should be emptied at, the application maps the relevant places of pick-up. The solution is meant to reduce environmental and economic cost while also providing users with a way of planning their garbage collection routes as simple as possible.

Efficient solar modules for electric vehicles

Efficient solar modules for electric vehicles

Sharp Corporation have developed a solar module with one of the world’s highest conversion efficiencies, which enables on-vehicle charging for electric vehicles (EVs) to increase their range without frequent plug-in battery charging. A triple-junction compound was used to capture a wider range of the spectrum of sunlight, leading to a conversion efficiency for a solar module of 31.17% for 968 cm². With such a high rate of efficiency, the modules can be integrated into EV design and have an impact on energy generation.

Environmental intelligence for healthy cities 

Environmental intelligence for healthy cities 

Green Urban Data produces software that monitors and measures temperature at the neighbourhood level, locating the most vulnerable areas and offering recommendations for action to stabilize the temperature in those areas. Their innovation aims to counteract the effects of temperature on the health and economy of a city, using software as a service (SaaS) to adapt a city to the effects of temperature variations. Possible uses are for the interconnectivity of green urban areas, the design of protocols to act against heat waves, and the planning and design of green infrastructure.

Online B2B marketplace for fresh produce

Online B2B marketplace for fresh produce

Moving food from the farm to the family dinner table can take months of passing through intermediaries before arriving at the supermarket. Chemical are therefore used to ensure longevity, resulting in old food that is perhaps months old, chemically laden, and with reduced nutritional value. Fresh.Land digitizes the food supply chain, allowing farmers to sell directly to retailers using a platform that provides logistics, payment, legal and knowledge support integrated into one solution. Food is purchased and consumed within days instead of months, protecting food integrity and minimizing waste.

Recycling textile waste into new fibers

Recycling textile waste into new fibers

As much as 73 % of clothing is landfilled or burnt. Infinited Fiber Company has a goal to revolutionize the fashion world by changing the waste in clothing manufacturing. The company has developed a process technology that can turn textile and paper waste into new fibers for the textile industry. They claim this can be done infinitely without decreasing the quality of the fiber. The technology rids the value chain of carbon disulfide – the most challenging, hazardous, and biologically harmful chemical in the fashion industry. Furthermore, the innovation is also flexible and can be integrated into existing pulp, dissolving pulp and viscose fiber plants.

Castor bio-based aviation fuel

Castor bio-based aviation fuel

Tianjin Castor Energy has developed the castor bio-based aviation fuel. The technique can produce high bio-aviation fuel yields by hydrodeoxygenation , hydro-cracking and hydro-isomerization reaction, and the properties meet the standards ASTM D7566. Moreover, the products do not contain sulfur, phosphorus and heavy metal. The company claims that the cleanliness and low-temperature fluidity of the bio-aviation fuel are superior to those of petroleum-based aviation fuels. The raw material supply is wildly available making it one of the most cost-efficient bio-based aviation fuels so far.

Active acoustic spectroscopy

Active acoustic spectroscopy

The Active Acoustic Spectroscopy is a device that can measure different parameters, such as e.g. density and viscosity, in different flowing matters in pipes. This is done by analysing how the acoustics in a pipe is affected by the flowing matters. With the help of this, data analysis can be done to optimise production processes within industries. Analysis optimisations may increase e.g. material yield or energy output. The Active Acoustic Spectroscopy can be used in different industries, but the focus market is pulp and paper industries to begin with.

Doubling biopower plant electrical efficiency

Doubling biopower plant electrical efficiency

Today's established technology for bio power is the steam cycle, in which 30 percent of the energy input results in electricity, with the remainder being heat and energy losses. Bio power plants are therefore primarily heating plants and, secondly, producers of electricity. Phoenix Biopower's technology has developed a different thermodynamic process. The first step is that the fuel is gasified under high pressure together with steam. The gas formed then drives a gas turbine where steam is used to optimize combustion. With this technology, efficiency is doubled, and electricity can be produced with up to 60 percent of the energy input.

Developing inputs and sustainable products based on nano materials obtained reusing rise hulls

Consulting and Energy develops and produces sustainable products based on nanomaterials obtained from the recovery of rice husk waste that would otherwise end up on landfills. The husk is initially used as fuel for energy production in a biomass plant that has an ash yield of 20%, which is the basis for several businesses lines that have been developed by the company: production of solar grade silicon, lithium battery material, aerogels for water irrigation, an enzymatic catalyst and structural insulated panel with an insulation sheet of aggregated rice husk.
