Selected Innovations
From 75 applications worldwide, six groundbreaking projects were selected to proceed. Each solves a specific facet of energy resilience — at home, in the field, in agriculture, on water and in waste streams.
Portable solar generator for self-consumption at home or on the go.
A modular system combining a power BOX (fuel generator, grid, portable & home modes) with solar MODULES — designed for resilient self-consumption anywhere.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Backup power for homes during blackouts, support for displaced communities and rural areas, and a lifeline for critical infrastructure and emergency response.
Raw residual biomass turned into on-site heat & power.
Small-scale combined heat and power generation from residual biomass, enabling decentralized, on-site energy production.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Supports energy resilience in rural and agri-industrial regions where grid access is limited or fragile.
"The possibility to use the result of our work to provide value and actually help was the trigger to apply. We expect to unlock value, helping people through decentralized energy production."
Modular turbines harnessing clean energy from free-flowing water.
Quick-deploy modular water turbines designed for natural rivers and man-made canals — predictable, reliable, locally controlled energy.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Reliable power for remote villages, industrial operations along waterways, smart city initiatives, irrigation and agricultural processes.
"We must do all we can to mobilize our local, clean energy resources — giving power and control back to local communities by helping them unlock their natural assets."
Robust micro vertical-axis wind turbines, tested in extremes.
Engineered in one of the windiest places on Earth — micro VAWTs paired with the SKIPP microgrid platform for resilient, distributed power.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Powers communication towers, weather and seismic stations, emergency systems, and helps restore energy to schools, hospitals and community centers.
"IceWind has donated wind turbines in the past, and with our new microgrid platform SKIPP we have the opportunity to provide even greater solutions for good."
A revolutionary portable device delivering reliable energy in any condition.
Foldable, ruggedized portable solar power units built for natural disasters, emergencies and off-grid deployment.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Empowers disaster response teams, off-grid communities, events and construction sites — and supports both humanitarian and emergency operations.
"The Ukraine call and the country's energy needs caught our eye. We decided to pursue this challenge and help civilians meet their energy needs after the destruction of the energy grid."
Onsite methane generation + Plastalyst for waste-to-hydrogen.
Flexibuster® (with SEaB Energy) generates power from organic waste. From 365 t of waste / 183 households → 121 MWh electricity, 214 MWh heating & cooling, and 252 m³ recaptured water.
Potential impact in Ukraine
Deployable in urban centers to manage organic municipal waste and in agriculture to convert bio-waste into clean energy.
"Based in Japan and Luxembourg, AC Biode is keen to contribute to rebuilding Ukraine as soon as possible. The program significantly helps our cleantech startup tackle the rebuilding effectively."
