EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Marco Arts (Carbyon)
18:15 – 19:00 pm Drinks

Carbon is a vital component of every life form on our planet. It is currently emitted as a “waste” product in the form of CO₂ and is one of our principle climate change agents. By harvesting the free carbon reserve that is present in air, a material abundance for countless everyday products is yielded. Closing the CO₂ cycle in this way will fundamentally transform and neutralize the climate effects of our global energy and materials economy.

Carbyon is developing a technology to capture CO₂ from ambient air. This allows the energy industry to produce 100% circular and renewable fuels from renewable electricity. Carbyon’s unique solution enables the renewable energy sector: making fuels from water and air in a closed loop powered by renewable electricity. COO Marco Arts explains the concept.

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Ricco Fiorito (CooLoo)
18:45 – 19:30 pm Drinks

Cooloo’s goal is to develop sustainable, aesthetic and ecological solutions. Solutions that are flexible in application, and create high-end design products suitable to last within the circular economy. Our 40+ years of experience in the furniture industry has shown us how inefficient and polluting the current furniture and upholstery industry is. This experience, combined with our innovative and out-of-the-box thinking, has resulted in game-changing disruptive concepts, ready to transition to a sustainable world where Endless Life is the new standard.

OCT 14

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:15 pm Talk by Team Core
18:15 – 19:00 pm Drinks

Student team CORE focuses on researching and enabling the recycling of hard-to-process waste streams like e-waste and contaminated soil

In 2016 alone, 44.7 million metric tonnes of e-waste were generated, which is the equivalent of 4500 Eifel towers. This is expected to grow to 52.2 million metric tonnes by the end of 2021. Of this only 20% is supposed to be collected and recycled, the other 80% is not documented and very likely to be dumped, traded or recycled under inferior conditions. This huge improperly treated waste stream does not only harm the environment but also the health of animals, including humans, that come in contact with it. There are about 60 different chemical elements present in this e-waste stream that spread via water, air, soil, dust and food. Some of these elements, like lead, mercury and cadmium, are very hazardous, especially for children, and can lead to irreversible cognitive deficits and behavioural and motor skill problems. Besides this, not properly recycling e-waste also depletes our earth of very precious and rare materials like gold and platinum. This may not only lead to shortages, but also requires the continuous mining of new raw materials which is very hazardous and damaging to the environment on itself.

Team Core believes in a world where these problems are non-existent. That’s why they are working on a solution that allows for the industrial application of elementary retraction: a technology that they leverage for recycling materials, such as e-waste, properly.

EHV INNOVATION CAFÉ 

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:15 pm Talks by Incooling
18:15 – 19:00 pm Drinks

In the last two years, we have created more data than in it the entire human history. This has resulted in new advances in chip technology and an increased number of Data Centres which then store all this data. Looking at the current trends, Data Centres will use 20% of all electricity available resulting in massive CO2 impact equal to that of aviation and shipping industries combined. Given the current fight against climate change and push towards more sustainable energy solutions, Incooling focuses on increasing the energy efficiency via more sustainable cooling practises in Data Centres where cooling accounts for more than 40% of its energy bills.
