Stockholm Cleantech Venture Day 2009 is proud to present some of Scandinavia's most innovative cleantech start-ups.

The 25 companies have been carefully selected out of almost 50 applicants. Important factors in the selection process were: the company should have had a ready to market product or service, have at least some initial turnover from sales or research and be in an early expansion phase where funding and new investments are necessary for further growth.

For further information about the companies please contact the organisers!

 

Absolicon Solar Concentrator AB, Sweden
www.absolicon.com

Absolicon introduces a revolutionary product that simultaneously produces electricity and heat from solar energy. Absolicon’s product, the X10, consists of a solar collector, shaped as a parabolic trough, which focuses sunlight ten times onto a receiver in the middle of the collector. On the outside of the receiver, special PV-cells are mounted. Inside the receiver, a fluid flows to cool off the receiver, thus producing both electricity and thermal heat.

Entrans AB, Sweden 
www.entrans.se

Entrans uses waste heat for producing electricity, district heating or cooling. All process industries generate waste heat which can be used for energy production instead of being dumped as is today. Shipping industry can reduce its oil consumption by approx 8-10 % by using waste cooling water to produce electricity, heating or cooling for the ships need. Heat pump plants that are idle during the warm season can produce electrical energy or district cooling with the heating not needed.

 

Fionia Lighting A/S, Denmark
www.fionialighting.dk

Fionia Lighting A/S is offering LED based luminaires for professional green house settings. The solution offers 3 major advantages: electrical power consumption reduction of approx. 50 %, improved manipulation opportunities of the crops, and reduced usage of chemicals. The technology is patent protected. 

FlexiClean AB, Sweden

Gtherm AB, Sweden
http://gtherm.se

Rototerm is designed by a system of rotation discs whereby the airflow is utilised for the heat or cool exchange between air and metal/plastic material or the other way around. Between the discs there is a separation between the hot and cool air which makes the exchange much more efficient as the rotation creates the flow. The device is also self cleansing.

Hydra Tidal Energy Technology AS, Norway
www.hydratidal.no

Since 2001, the Hydra Tidal Energy Technology has been developing a unique floating power plant - Morild for harnessing energy from tidal and ocean currents. Morild is currently being built as a prototype and is due for deployment at Lofoten Islands in 2010. The plant features a patented technology that makes it float while at the same time withstanding high loads. Each plant can deliver 5 - 6 GWh annually from tidal currents and at least the same from ocean currents.

   

 

 Langlee Wave Power AS, Norway
www.langlee.no

Langlee has developed a floating wave energy converter with high efficiency in medium waves. It is designed to be moored in water depth between 20 and 40 meters. The installation’s wings absorb the horizontal wave movements. Langlee is also ideal for installation between offshore wind turbines. In extreme weather the electric generating system is automatically decoupled from the water wings leaving them to swing or rotate freely without creating any damaging forces.

Neo Power Technology AS, Norway
www.neoptech.com

Neo Power Technology has developed and patented a new, highly efficient method for power generation realised in a bio-mechanical detonation engine/power generator based on supersonic detonation and oscillatory motion. This new method is applied to stand-alone generators, car engines and stationary power stations. The technology is based on nature’s principles and provides efficiency combined with low investment costs and high reliability.
