In Action Esg CLIMATE

In order to better describe the sectors based on the drivers relating to cross industry technologies in the broad scope of Climate Tech, we provide some examples below:

Renewable energies: production of renewable energy from innovative sources; solar and wind energy with innovative systems; agrivoltaic systems; optimization of Infrastructure for Renewable Energy (smart grid); Energy storage systems.

Optimization of the use of resources: recovery and valorisation of technical by-products for the production of alternative fuels (e.g. synthetic fuels, e-fuels); recovery and valorization of biological by-products for the production of organic-based fuels (e.g. Biogas and Biomethane).

Marine Resources and Blue Biotechnology: water culture (e.g. algae), underwater artificial vision, hydroacoustic technologies, technologies for fish traceability (e.g. 3D laser profilemetry, hyperspectral technology), intelligent fishing nets, preservation of the marine ecosystem through use of fishing equipment deriving from biobased and biodegradable raw materials, valorisation solutions for organic by-products of the fishing industry;Optimization of the use of water resources: treatment and reuse of waste water or water used in production processes; smart water infrastructure; smart meters specialized in monitoring flows and aimed at reducing consumption and reducing waste; extraction of water from the air (solutions for independence from the water network in critical contexts and arid areas).

Technologies and new materials that support decarbonization processes: 3D printing; additive manufacturing; IoT sensors; digital twins, technologies for tracking materials and products; use of innovative renewable, recycled/recovered materials; bio-based packaging; innovative circular materials (e.g. nanotech, recombinant biotech); sustainable home automation (smart warehouse);
Business models that support decarbonization processes: solutions for maximizing the efficiency of production assets (e.g. remote assistance, predictive maintenance, servitization); intelligent logistics and product traceability solutions (Reverse logistics); design to increase product life and for easy disassembly and recycling; recovery and valorisation solutions for processing waste (e.g. upcycling); design for the reuse of products and packaging (e.g. re-use, refurbishment,).

Smart agriculture: precision agriculture; Vertical Farming; aquaponics and aeroponics techniques; regenerative agriculture; innovative techniques for the production and use of soil improvers and bio fertilizers; technologies for tracking the production chain; new soil carbon storage solutions; promotion of biodiversity; new bioremediation techniques; recovery and reuse of agricultural biomass and by-products from a circular perspective; recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus; climate prediction solutions; space imaging (I use satellite images in combination with cameras, sensors, and IoT devices).

Circular Behavior: innovation of models of use of goods and services oriented towards sustainability and the circular economy (e.g. extension of useful life of products, marketplace for reuse, sharing models, take back models for product repairs); technological solutions aimed at directing more conscious and less impactful consumer choices; digital platforms for quantifying the reduction of natural resources and CO2;
Innovative Education: paths to improve awareness of the environmental impact of one's daily actions; solutions that introduce gamification principles to address consumption habits; educational digital platforms for the promotion of sustainable lifestyles.
