Detailed explanation of the submitted project or idea (in English or both English and your language)
According to McKinsey coal accounts for 41% of global energy generation. As a result millions of tons of coal ash are sent to landfills. This can cost a power plant operator several hundreds of millions $ and thousands of tons of CO2 every year.
Our technology upcycles coal or biomass ash into a new material called CircuLite. CircuLite can be used in carbon capture, self-cooling concrete, soil improvement, water and air purification, face masks and cleaning up oil spills. This allows power plants to lower their carbon footprint, costs and create a circular economy.
CircuLite (200-300$/ton) is produced cheaper than the Zeolite and Activated carbon (300-1000$/ton).
It has a 5x higher oil absorption capability and can absorb a broader range of substances.
We have just signed with our 8th client and are in talks with several more to build CircuLite recycling plants, which cost 10-20M$ each. -

Special Prize Question 1: How does your project or idea make use of local resources, such as materials and knowledge, to tackle its challenge?
Ash is currently transported by trucks to landfill.
Our solution is building ash recycling facilities next to the power plant, eliminating transportation.
The CircuLite can then be used locally, e.g. to filter exhaust gases from the power plant. -
Special Prize Question 2: How does your project or idea sustain its activities through the involvement of the local community?
The CircuLite is used by local companies and cooperatives in farming, industry, water filtration and cleaning up nuclear radiation.

Special Prize Question 3: How does your project or idea eliminate waste or pollution while regenerating natural resources?
We recycling ash waste. There are currently 300m tons of unused ash just from coal power plants in the world. They are sent to landfill. This is bad for the business, earth and water.
We recycling the ash and bring it back into the circular economy.
