Finaliści Smogathonu 2016

City Tree by Green City Solutions

https://greencitysolutions.de/en/solutions/#section2

Green City Solutions, based in Germany approached the problem of air pollution by combining a vertically installed moss culture with Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology. The product, called the “CityTree”, combines specific plants that eat particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide and ozone – offsetting 240 t of CO2e/year in total. The plant filter has the same effect as 275 urban trees, but requires 99% less space. The construction contains sensors collecting environmental and climatic data, to regulate and control the unit and ensure that the plants survive.

 

Cortina by Rakoczy Steal

Rakoczy Steal, a family-owned business from Poland was a runner-up in Smogathon 2016. They believe it’s not the coal that is the problem but the wrong way of burning it. They created a coal-fired boiler with very low emissions. Laboratory tests have proven that they’ve been able to reduce smog generation by 96%. The innovative construction of the combustion chamber is the key. Their solution reduces air pollution by almost 100% and doesn’t eliminate coal, Poland’s national wealth.

 


Laser Egg by Origins Technology

Origins Technology created a device monitoring air pollution in real-time, collecting data which is used to map the world’s air, as pollution is created. This enables to identify sources of pollution, so that they can be removed, improving our air! They are a Chinese-based startup with team members from across the globe. Their products are for sale in all the Apple Stores across China, and they now collect around 10,000x more air quality data than most governments. They are already using this data to make a change.

 


Clair by Instytut Fotonowy

https://www.fotonowy.pl/

Company based in Krakow, Poland. They have created very efficient PM2.5 filters that don’t use pumps and don’t produce ozone. These anti-smog filters use nanotechnology. Moreover, they have created basics sensors showing real air pollution concentration and its source.
