9 technologies to revolutionize our planet (the 7th will amaze you)

In a previous post on the paradox that Space is the future of Earth, we concluded that the Space race triggers a simultaneous journey to invent sustainable solutions for our planet.

?In today's post, we present concrete applications through 9 technologies I had the chance to meet either through recent Pollutec and Aquatech fairs in Lyon and Amsterdam or through astonishing press releases.

?1) Solar panels made of sand or lunar regolith. (Maana Electric)

Imagine if you could transform solar power using only sand from Earth or regolith from the moon? This is what the Lux start-up Maana Electric is doing right now.

?2) Bioenergy produced based on our biowastes. (Vyncke, Aalborg Energie Technik, Naskeo)

Ok agriculture creates a lot of waste, and cows are destroying the ozone layer. But it is over soon with the fast multiplication of bioenergy power stations that transform biomass into bio and sustainable energy.Ok agriculture creates a lot of waste, and cows are destroying the ozone layer.

3) Turboblowers will blow your mind for the water treatment. (APG Neuros)

Manufactured by APG Neuros, the Canadian award winner created an innovative system to clean wastewater.

?4) Water sanitization by using nothing more than light and UV rays. (Acuva and Behring)

Acuva and Behring are removing chemical water treatments by applying UV rays to burn bacteria DNA in water. No more chlorine taste in our tap water. We say YES!

5) Detecting and reducing water consumption through leaks detections. (Shayp)

Certainly one of the?facility managers' best friends, Shayp, and its IoT system have already saved 1 Billion liters and detected 12 000 leakages in building water grids.

?6) Cleaning of water surfaces through shark and jellyfish robots. (Jellyfishbot and Ranmarine)

They take the form of a jellyfish for Jellyfishbot or a shark for Ranmarine, but those robots collect all the wastes that fall at the water surface. Imagine channels and marina bays cleared from old beer cans?

7) Hydrogen production using waste (Boson Energy)

This one is undoubtedly the most promising and expected one. The energy is produced by nothing else than particles found directly in the air. Retarded because it was too energy-consuming, Boson Energy achieved to produce hydrogen from waste.

8)?Recycling of precious metals (Weeecycling)

Our computers and cell phones consume so many precious metals that they need several planets to sustain the demand. Unless you send your old devices to Weeecycling. They will recycle it out and circular the use of raw materials. Technically your iPhone 13 could be made of materials from your old iPhone 8.

?9) Soil depollution through intelligent textile (Tencate Aquavia)

On a parking lot of your favorite supermarket, have you ever wondered what happens to the oil leak from your old thermic car when it touches the ground? Of course not, because there are everywhere and look inoffensive as they sneakily ramp down to the underground drink water. Tencate Aquavia manufactured a solution based on an intelligent textile made of micro-organisms that literally eat oil for breakfast. That's definitely a yummy solution.
