Construction is one of the key sources of CO2 emission. One of the most used construction materials are bricks, with more than 5 billion being produced each year. Bricks are typically made of clay, which is a finite resource. However, the use of vast amounts of clay, high-energy use and CO2 emission mean that the industry needs more sustainable solutions. The ReMaBricks project, which involves a Danish brickwork and three world-leading universities from Denmark and one from Slovenia, aims to solve this issue. The Recycled Material Brick (RMB) is a brick that has superior properties over the traditional brick, is cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and helps tackle the growing problem of accumulated hard-to-recycle materials such as wind turbine blades and glass wool insulation. In fact, there is more glass fiber waste in the production of windmills than there is in the windmills being decommissioned. Fundamental in the project is the involvement of Vestas and Siemens Gamesa. The goal of this project to: - Replace at least 20% and up to 40% of clay with materials stored in landfills today, - Upcycle waste materials, that are hard-to-recycle, - Reduce the amount of clay used for 1m2 wall (from 252 kg in clay bricks to 176.4 kg in the RMB), - Reduce CO2 emission used for 1m2 wall by 25%, - Prepare a product that is DGNB certified, is 11.77% cheaper for both brick producers and customers and ready for market by the end of this 3-year project.

Hos Dropla ønsker vi at bidrage til en fremtid uden landminer. Det gør vi ved hjælp af avanceret drone- og sensorteknologi. Vi udvikler autonome droner med banebrydende avancerede sensorer samt multisensorfusion af sensorinput til effektivt og sikkert at kortlægge og detektere landminer i konfliktramte områder. Vi drømmer om at gøre de berørte områder brugbare for samfundet hurtigere, samtidig med at vi reducerer risiko for mineryddere og sparer ressourcer i det nødvendige arbejde. Det humanitære og økonomiske potentiale i det system vi udvikler er enormt. Vi er glade og taknemmelige for, at Innovationsfonden anerkender vigtigheden og skalerbarheden af vores arbejde og løsning. Deres investering vil fremskynde vores mulighed for at forbedre vores AI-drevne detektionsalgoritmer Vores langsigtede vision er at levere en omfattende dataintelligensplatform og tilhørende hardwarecomplex, der yder beslutningsstøtte til alle interessenter, der er involveret i minerydning verden over. Dette vil gøre det muligt at uploade alle minerelaterede geofysiske data fra enhver sensortype, RGB, multispektral, magnetisk eller elektromagnetisk, og modtage et forbedret beslutningsdatalag på et kort - muliggørende målrettet, risikobevidst frigivelse af land i ”big skala”. Vi arbejder på en landminefri fremtid.
