Nominated Innovations

1,000 innovative clean energy solutions and > 150 framework enablers with the potential to deliver more than twelve gigatonnes of avoided emissions by 2030.

These assessments are based on a basic avoided emission assessment. The overall concept of avoided emissions is that a solution (product or service) enables the same function to be performed with significantly less GHG emissions. The method of measuring avoided emissions, is to compare a baseline scenario without the enabling solution, with a scenario using the enabling solution; whereby the baseline represents the ‘business as usual’ (BAU) scenario.

These assessments are based on the framework document: The Avoided Emissions Framework (AEF) from September 2020.

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.

Bicycle-based delivery solution

We produce electrically assisted cargo vehicles for climate friendly last mile deliveries. argo bikes are superior to trucks and delivery cars in cities, in terms of environmental impact, physical footprint and personal safety. Cargo bikes weigh less, occupy less space in the street and allow better eyes-'n-ears driver interaction in traffic. Riding on bike lanes and shortcuts increases safety and gives door-to-door speed matching other vehicles in the city. The CO2 footprint savings exceed 1 kg per 10 kilometers compared to combustion engine vehicles. The energy consumption is less than 10% compared to other electric vehicles.

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.

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.

Heat capture of excess renewable energy generation to avoid oversupply

Polar Night Energy (PNE) combines electricity and heat capture to enable an accelerated development of wind and solar energy. PNE has developed a cost-efficient, safe, and scalable heat storage solution. It is based on an underground sand pit, heated up to 700 degrees Celsius with excess wind or solar power. Heat is provided for buildings and industry via a patented and optimized heat transfer system. Wind and solar power have the disadvantage of being intermittent, resulting in wind turbines being shut down when the electricity prices drop too low due to oversupply. Converting this excess energy to heat offers a cost-efficient and safe way to store the energy for long durations.
