Climate Change Innovators to be honoured at CES

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) – owner and producer of CES – announced the winners of its second-annual CES Eureka Park Climate Change Innovators contest, recognizing emerging innovations that help improve the environment and the lives of consumers. CTA launched the contest at CES 2018 to highlight technology’s ability to combat climate by cutting worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Tech innovation is a critical component in the global effort to combat climate change,” said Walter Alcorn, vice president of environmental affairs and industry sustainability, CTA. “These innovators represent the tech industry’s leadership on, and commitment to reducing our impact on the environment by lowering carbon emissions. Our industry is already making safer and more efficient products, and this year’s honorees embody how the next generation of innovative tech – from cooking and gardening to heating and lighting – can deliver lasting benefits that protect our planet for future generations.” 

CES 2019 Eureka Park Climate Change Innovators

• Blue Whale Company’s Spy Can Compact is the first autonomous SMS driven smart valve that detects leaks and overconsumption in pipes and sends alerts in real time.
• Connected Garden’s Archibald is a personal digital gardener with “Super Sensor” that selects plants for precise locations such as a garden, terrace or balcony and guides consumers via smart device app. GoSun’s GoSun Fusion is a hybrid solar cooker that uses a highly efficient vacuum tube and PV system that allow people to cook day and night without any fuel other than the sun.
• Heatworks’ MODEL 3 Water Heater is the first of its kind to use graphite electrodes and advanced electronic controls to heat up water, making it 99% more energy efficient.
• LUMI’IN’s  FLEX is the first solar and connected LED street light that’s adaptable to any lamp post, providing a cleaner and cheaper-to-use alternative to classic on-grid lighting.
• NanoScent is a real-time detector that senses, monitors, alerts, and traces specific VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in the air.
• SmartEmbed’s drop is a technology dedicated to water and energy preservation in households through an IoT solution that controls shower duration.
• The CES Eureka Park Climate Change Innovators awards program at CES spotlights exhibitors in Eureka Park who are placing bold bets on their technology’s ability to cut greenhouse gas emissions, if widely implemented or adopted. A CTA-selected committee of experts from industry, the NGO community and academia selected the honorees based on the demonstrated and quantified potential of their technologies to reduce GHG emissions.
