BioVal: Waste Valorisation for Climate Change Mitigation
Objective of Project Idea:
The BioVal project will demonstrate a modular, circular system that transforms municipal food waste and agricultural residues into permanent carbon removal and climate-positive products. Led by Nellie Technologies (UK), the consortium will include a waste owner/operator to supply real feedstocks and host the pilot, and a network partner specialising in verification, industrial adoption, or market offtake. The innovation integrates three proven processes into a relocatable unit: (1) aerobic digestion to extract nutrient-rich digestate, (2) microalgal photobioreactors to rapidly grow biomass on these nutrients while capturing CO₂, and (3) pyrolysis to convert the biomass into stable biochar with >1,000-year permanence.

Flexible IoT System for Real-Time Electricity Monitoring, Predictive Analytics, and Demand Response in Multi-Tenant Buildings
Objective of Project Idea:
Across Europe, many residential and public buildings—especially multi-tenant complexes—still depend on conventional electricity meters without communication capabilities. This prevents energy service providers, building owners, and tenants from accessing real-time consumption data, limiting energy efficiency, anomaly detection, and participation in flexibility markets. Retrofitting these legacy infrastructures with smart meters is costly and disruptive, delaying digitalization. The project will deliver a retrofit-ready IoT metering device for both single-phase and three-phase systems, with embedded edge computing for real-time data processing. Combined with an open-source integration layer, the solution guarantees full data sovereignty while enabling seamless interoperability with third-party platforms. The project will also[...]

Smart, Sustainable and Accessible Dialysis for Millions of Kidney Failure Patients
Objective of Project Idea:
Qidni Labs is developing a portable, nearly waterless dialysis system powered by a proprietary sorbent-based cartridge. Traditional dialysis consumes up to 500 liters of water per treatment, making it one of the most resource-intensive therapies worldwide. Our cartridge reduces water use by more than 90 percent, enabling treatment outside traditional infrastructure and making dialysis both sustainable and accessible. This project aims to co-develop and scale next-generation cartridges with advanced materials, sorbents, and membranes, while also integrating a remote monitoring platform and AI-based predictive analytics. The digital system will track device performance, anticipate cartridge exhaustion or component failure, and allow clinicians[...]

High temperature superconducting turboexpander/turbocompressor/turbopump for liquefaction equipment/plant
Objective of Project Idea:
Development and verification of a prototype of a nitrogen superconducting high-speed turbomachinery that can be installed on a liquefaction plant. The goal is to verify the technology directly under HTS conditions and determine the basic parameters of this technology, challenges and scope of application, including power and speed limits. In the future development of hydrogen liquefaction, greater yields of LH2 will be essential energy savings, including the elimination of electrical losses.

Smart Filterless Air Pollution Abatement Solutions
Objective of Project Idea:
Air pollution causes over 8 million premature deaths annually, while CO₂ emissions continue to accelerate climate change. Cutting emissions alone won’t be enough in the short term. Our vision is to create the world’s first Living City Lab to reduce citizens’ exposure to harmful pollutants (PM, ultrafine particles, NOx, and black carbon) while demonstrating innovative carbon capture at an urban scale. In this project we want to deploy and demonstrate ISCLEANAIR’s APA technology, a nature-inspired, water-based, filterless solution that removes air pollutants and captures CO₂. We will transform a central urban park or a portion of it, into a full-scale[...]

Conversion of Industrial CO₂ Emissions into Biocrude through High-Yield Microalgae Cultivation
Objective of Project Idea:
This project aims to transform industrial CO₂ emissions into biocrude through the cultivation of high-productivity microalgae in modular, low-cost photobioreactors developed by UFPR (Federal University of Paraná). These reactors enable efficient carbon capture and the production of lipid-rich biomass. The biomass is processed using Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL), a technology that converts wet organic matter directly into high-quality biocrude, compatible with conventional refining processes to produce advanced biofuels such as HVO, SAF, green diesel, and renewable naphtha. The system is energy-efficient and allows for biocrude production at a cost lower than the current price of Brent crude. In addition to biocrude,[...]

Ocean-to-Fuel Green Liquid Hydrogen Production & Delivery
Objective of Project Idea:
Onestone Holdings' project idea is to establish a revolutionary "Ocean-to-Fuel" system for global green liquid hydrogen (LH2) supply. Our core objective is to decarbonize heavy industries and long-haul transportation by providing a reliable, scalable, and economically viable source of clean energy. We will achieve this by designing, building, and operating specialized marine vessels equipped with our patented vertical wind turbines. These vessels will continuously generate electricity from the consistent winds found offshore. This electricity will then be immediately converted onboard into green liquid hydrogen via advanced electrolysis and liquefaction. The LH2 will be stored on the same vessel and directly[...]
