SECOND CALL FOR LOW-CARBON SOLUTIONS
The second call for low-carbon solutions is open.
You have until July 31st, 2020 to submit your low-carbon solutions, fighting global warming.The second call for solutions' themes
SEKOYA's partners seek to identify innovative solutions in the following areas:
- Low-carbon design and construction
- Constructive processes and low-carbon materials
- Carbon sobriety in logistics and site life
- Waste : sobriety at the source, valuation, recovery/re-use, traceability/waste accounting
- Low-carbon uses and exploitation
- Waste and bio-waste in urban areas: logistics, collection, traceability, recovery (2023 – 2025: change in regulations with obligation to sort bio-waste and recover it)
- Sustainable and low-carbon port and airport infrastructures
- Carbon sobriety of buildings and their uses
HOW DOES SEKOYA WORK?
The Carbon & Climate platform seeks to identify and qualify innovative, sustainable and low-carbon solutions through an online application process. Eiffage and its partners will qualify the most effective solutions (via a carbon footprint statement and a life cycle analysis) with a potential to contribute to a more frugal construction.
The platform is technically operated and hosted by the Impulse Labs accelerator, an actor experienced in identifying innovative solutions since its creation.
FOCUS ON CARBON & CLIMATE ISSUES:
New Forms of Mobility
- Optimise mobility fluidity in congested urban areas (signage, digital control, adaptation to real flows...).
- Enhance the attractiveness and intuitive understanding of public transportation offers for all types of users.
- Promote low-carbon forms of mobility and urban land use.
Biodiversity and Ecological Engineering
- Reintegrate nature into cities as a source of ecosystem services: creation of freshness isles, urban agriculture and short circuits, use of CO2 for agricultural purposes, etc.
- Develop solutions to restore degraded natural areas (soil stabilisation, water infiltration, soil decontamination by plants, renaturalisation of mineral areas, etc.).
- Tool to evaluate the quantities of stored biogenic carbon.
Low-carbon Design and Implementation
- Systemise the use of low-carbon materials.
- Propose an efficient, biosourced insulation for new and renovated buildings.
- Develop industrialised solutions for energetic renovation.
- Design buildings with scalable uses and without structural costs.
Methods and Tools
- Absorb CO2 in cities and rural areas by reintroducing green spaces into our projects.
Circular Economy
- Develop rapid resource diagnostic solutions designed used before existing buildings' demolition.
- Develop physical and/or virtual exchange systems between supply and demand for land, materials, equipment, etc.
- Develop solutions for on-site reuse of concrete and aggregates in construction, infrastructure, treatment of deconstructed materials before reuse, etc.
Renewable Energies and Energetic Performance
- Propose upstream diagnostic systems for the use of local renewable energies.
- Develop any energy-saving solution.
- Develop new solutions for renewable energy production and recovery.
- CO2 capture processes.
- Low-carbon design and construction
