Decarbonisation

This technology leveraged multiple advanced components to deliver an immersive, data-driven BI (Business Intelligence) dashboard for smart building management. 3D visualization and integration formed the dashboard’s intuitive interface, utilizing a photorealistic 3D-scanned building. Technologies such as laser scanning and photogrammetry were used to create the digital twin. This 3D model was then integrated with real-time IoT data using Building Information Modeling (BIM) principles, enabling visualization of sensor data directly within the digital replica of the building. An IoT sensor network and data acquisition system played a crucial role, with various sensors deployed to monitor building performance, energy usage (including non-invasive water and power monitoring), and environmental conditions. These sensors transmitted data wirelessly,  using protocols such as MQTT and LoRaWAN to an IoT platform. For data processing and storage, an edge IoT platform served as the backbone for collecting, processing, and managing large volumes of real-time sensor data. Built-in rule engines enabled data enrichment and automated alerting. Finally, immersive dashboard development frameworks were pivotal in creating interactive user experience. Web-based 3D visualization libraries rendered the building model and integrated dynamic data overlays. While BI tools such as Tableau or Power BI may have supported traditional dashboard components, custom immersive development provided a more intuitive 3D environment for navigation and data exploration.

Platinum group metals (PGMs) are critical raw materials essential in diverse industries, including automotive catalytic converters, jewelry, glassware, petrochemical refining, electronics, and healthcare sectors like pharmaceuticals and dental implants. Primarily sourced through the mining of PGM ores, they constitute about 70% of the global PGM supply, with South Africa and Russia accounting for 85% of this production. This concentration in supply can lead to price gouging and market monopoly. Recycling PGMs from waste not only mitigates the supply shortfall but also reduces environmental impacts compared to mining. However, conventional recycling methods are energy-intensive, requiring temperatures around 1500°C, and involve costly downstream processing to treat waste. Furthermore, the high processing temperatures result in high-value raw materials being burnt and releasing harmful toxins. The technology owner has developed a novel biorecovery method that incorporates and modifies a series of biochemical and biological processes into a streamlined 3-stage process as opposed to the multi-tiered stages of current conventional methods used in industry. It offers the following advantages over the competition: Energy Efficiency: consumes 6x less energy than traditional methods Cost Effective: 3x cheaper in operation cost High Yield: capable of recovering multiple PGM simultaneously with high yield even from low-grade waste Sustainability: support company decarbonization goals by offering a truly green and sustainable recycling manner for spent catalyst

This technology uses Machine Learning and AI algorithms to identify what appliances get plugged in to a building and when they are wasting energy. Plug Power represents 40% of the energy in a commercial building. Half of this energy is wasted with appliances left on when nobody is in the building. When wasted energy is found the plugs automatically switch off the appliances wasting energy and turn them back on before people return to the building. The technology not only saves energy and carbon emissions but makes buildings safer by detecting and preventing unsafe energy loads as well as reporting on occupancy and enabling behavioural change with occupants. The technology provider is seeking collaboration partners among businesses operating commercial buildings that utilize plug sockets — particularly those with multiple locations and high energy-consuming appliances. Potential partners include, but are not limited to, retail chains, F&B chains, the hospitality industry, healthcare facilities, education and training centres, and fitness and wellness chains.
