ABchar

ABchar is developing a new type of pyrolysis reactor, affordable heating and the possibility of small-scale biochar production, adapted to agriculture.. This will help achieve the goal of a 40% reduction in emissions from the agricultural sector. What is pyrolysis? Simply put, this is the heating of an organic material without access to oxygen. This leads to a series of reactions that ultimately result in 3 main products; biochar, oil and gas. We want to utilize the biochar in this process. The oil and gas will be burned and the heat from this will be used to dry grain, heat barns, greenhouses, residential buildings and other things that need heat on a farm. Why pyrolysis and biochar? Plants absorb CO2 from the air around us through photosynthesis. They are actually extremely good at this too. The residual product is mainly oxygen and the plant material. The great thing about pyrolysis is that we are able to separate water, oxygen and hydrogen from the plant material and we are left with more or less pure carbon 80% +. This is carbon from the air! If we take this coal and spread it on our agricultural land, it will be stored there for up to 1000 years and perhaps longer. In some cases, the soil will become more fertile and less vulnerable to periods of too much or too little water.

Mundane

Mundane udvikler stilfulde, plantebaserede interiørprodukter for at hjælpe miljøbevidste hjemmeejere med at skabe smukke og bæredygtige rum, ved at anvende innovative, komposterbare materialer. Vi adresserer problemet med traditionelle hjemmeprodukter, der ofte er fremstillet af ikke-bæredygtige materialer, hvilket bidrager til miljøbelastningen. Dette påvirker i stigende grad miljøbevidste forbrugere, der ønsker at indrette deres hjem med omtanke for planeten. Problemet er udbredt, da mange almindelige interiørprodukter er lavet af plastik eller andre ressourcer, der ikke nedbrydes naturligt. Mundane løser dette ved at designe og producere interiørprodukter, primært plantekasser i øjeblikket, af PLA, et plantebaseret og komposterbart materiale. Vi fokuserer på minimalistisk, skandinavisk design, der kombinerer æstetik og funktionalitet. Vores produkter er designet til at holde længe og nedbrydes naturligt, når de ikke længere er i brug. Vi anvender bæredygtig emballage og stræber efter at minimere vores miljøaftryk i alle led af produktionen. Vores motivation stammer fra en dyb bekymring for miljøet og et ønske om at gøre en positiv forskel. Vi oplevede en mangel på stilfulde og bæredygtige interiørprodukter på markedet og ønskede at skabe et alternativ, der både er smukt og ansvarligt. Vi tror på, at design kan være en drivkraft for forandring, og vi er passionerede omkring at skabe produkter, der inspirerer andre til at leve mere bæredygtigt.

Bclude ApS

bclude is a digital leave platform for managing maternity, paternity, parental leave, and long-term sick leave to help People & Culture teams and organizations streamline their processes, reduce administrative burdens, and improve the employee experience during leave. Our solution automates complex tasks, ensuring automated reimbursement and offering seamless communication between employees and employers. The problem we're solving is the time-consuming and manual management of parental leave, sick leave, and related processes. People & Culture and payroll departments are often overwhelmed with manual work, complex regulations, and fragmented systems. This affects both employees, who struggle with confusion around their entitlements, and People & Culture and payroll professionals, who spend significant time on repetitive administrative tasks. By addressing this, we aim to free up valuable time, reduce errors and costs in reimbursement, and improve employee satisfaction and belonging. bclude simplifies the leave management process by automating leave planning, automated reimbursement, and communication between employees and the organization, including management. Our platform provides clear guidance to both employees, managers, People & Culture, and payroll, ensuring that all leave-related activities are completed on time and accurately. With bclude, employees can easily register their leave, track their entitlements, and receive timely notifications. People & Culture teams can manage all leave processes from a single platform, ensuring consistency and an inclusive process. We started bclude because we saw firsthand the frustrations employees and People & Culture and payroll teams face when it comes to managing leave. As parents ourselves, we experienced the complexity of parental leave and how it could affect work-life balance. At the same time, we noticed how much time People & Culture and payroll teams were spending on manual processes, which could be better spent on more strategic work. Our motivation was to create a solution that makes this process smoother for everyone involved, freeing up time for People & Culture and payroll teams and ensuring employees have a clear, positive, and inclusive experience during their leave.
