In short, composting is the process of creating the ideal conditions for organic matter to decompose quickly. Hot Composting is an accelerated form of composting where waste is reduced by 70-80% in volume and compost is obtained within 24 hours, instead of the 3-6 months required for natural composting. Hot Composting Machine is specially designed for both residential and commercial establishments to convert all organic waste into compost (organic fertilizer) within 24 hours. The machine can compost all organic waste including kitchen food waste, fish and animal waste, leaves, grass clippings, weeds, seeds, diapers, sewage sludge, shredded meat bones and palm leaves etc. The resulting compost is rich in plant nutrients, both macro and micro nutrients with more than 80% organic matter content, therefore when applied to the soil it increases agricultural crop production, increases the water retention capacity of the soil and the microbial biodiversity of the soil. With hot compost, the composting process helps mitigate climate change as it is aerobic and thus eliminates methane production that aggravates climate change. Hot compost machines with a capacity to receive 50/100/250/500/1000 liters of solid waste will be developed in the project. |

FLEXIndustries is a project created to present and develop the analysis and optimization of energy intensive industrial facilities with the Dynamic Energy and Process Management Platform. The unique aspects of FLEXIndustries are, i) Innovative energy production, storage and conversion assets (e.g. new HPs, ORC and thermoelectric-based BESS and waste heat recovery solutions) systems, ii) Smart and digital tools for optimized operation and control, iii) Market mechanisms for new business models and improved industrial flexibility. Overall, FLEXIndustries has the potential to save in this specific project: a) ≥ 159 GWh/y Total Primary Energy, b) ≥ 6.0 M€/y life cycle costs at the demo scale and c) ≥ 33,111 CO2-eq/y emissions at project level. In order to demonstrate these studies, studies will be conducted in 6 reference countries (Turkey, Greece, Poland, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy) in different sectors. The study areas are; a) Energy efficiency and operational flexibility, b) Examination of increased levels of electrification, digitalization and automation, c) Increased user satisfaction and grid flexibility services, d) Reduction of carbon footprint, A highly competent team of 16 large enterprises, 6 research institutes, 8 SMEs, 2 universities and 3 non-profit organizations have been brought together to support FLEXIndustries. Within the scope of the FLEXIndustries project, SEDAŞ's field application will start with the delivery of batteries suitable for secondary use (with 65-70% charge capacity) together with their charging and control modules to SEDAŞ as safe and protected units by Ford Otosan. Before the field application, the most optimum point will be determined in the field with the support of academicians/consultants, and power quality issues will be examined and analyzed. With the field installation (positioning of batteries in the most suitable places in the network/energy storage system), SEDAŞ will ensure that the system comes on and goes off at certain intervals. Thus, the regional daily load curve in the distribution network can be brought closer to the desired level. By drawing power from the transmission network at similar values almost every hour of the day, the daily load curve of a region can be flattened. As a result; After the analyses and field installation, the effects and benefits of the energy storage system that will be added to the system with batteries suitable for secondary use (with 65-70% charge capacity) will be examined. In this project, DEPAR ARGE will provide order-based R&D services to SEDAŞ, and the R&D activities and technical studies of the approved EU project within SEDAŞ will be carried out by DEPAR ARGE. |

| 10 | Startup name: İşletme ve yan sanayilerinin yeşil dönüşüm faaliyetlerinde kullanılacak veri toplama yazılımı geliştirilmesi (Developing data collection software to be used in green transformation activities of businesses and sub-industries) Startup area in UI Greenmetric questionnaire (SI, EC, WS, WR, TR, ED): EC URL: http://https://klina.com.tr/ Description: The main R&D subject of the project is the development of computer software for the provision and control of data needed from within the company and suppliers in carbon footprint and life cycle analysis. For this purpose, data collection methods within the company and in the supply chain will be examined and data losses and elements that negatively affect data security will be investigated. In addition, the contributions of important elements of information technologies such as artificial intelligence and expert systems to improve data collection and security will be examined and the necessary studies will be carried out to ensure the integration of these contributions into the program to be written. The data collection software proposed in the prepared project does not have a domestic and national equivalent that can be used effectively and in this respect, an important deficiency will be eliminated. In addition, there are important differences and innovative elements between some foreign software and the proposed system. It can be said that the most innovative aspects of the program to be written are that it ensures that the company and its suppliers are integrated into the data collection process and that the reliability test of the entered data is carried out within the program. In addition, there are significant differences in the data types used in the carbon footprint calculations of businesses in different sectors. For example, in some businesses, energy is directly provided from boilers using fossil fuels, while in others, only electricity provided from the grid is the energy source. This situation causes significant confusion in systems and forms where predetermined and fixed data can be collected. Another innovative element is that the program to be written will consist of data collection modules that can be shaped according to different sectors and new needs of businesses and will be usable by all sectors. In line with this basic purpose, the objectives sought to be achieved with the project are listed below. • Ensuring that the internal and external data needed for carbon footprint calculation are collected quickly and accurately • Increasing the sensitivity of carbon footprint calculation by optimizing data collection and data security processes • Minimizing data losses between the main business, supplier / sub-industry • Supporting carbon footprint calculation studies, especially for small and medium-sized businesses • Reducing the cost of carbon footprint calculation processes |
| 11 | Startup name: Akıllı Enerji Depolama Sistemleri için Basılmıs Süperkapasitörler ve Piller (Printed Supercapacitors and Batteries for Smart Energy Storage Systems) Startup area in UI Greenmetric questionnaire (SI, EC, WS, WR, TR, ED): EC Description: The new generation high energy density lithium-based batteries to be produced will be optimized primarily for electric scooter and electric bicycle manufacturers. However, it is aimed to meet the needs of companies operating in areas such as drone manufacturers, electronics sector, toy sector with special productions according to the need. Many companies operating in this field in Sakarya and its surroundings have been interviewed and deficiencies have been identified. All companies in our country that need lithium-ion batteries meet their needs from abroad. This brings with it import expenses and loss of time. At the same time, the solution of possible negative situations that may arise is also quite problematic. In the interviews we have conducted in order to fill this gap in our country, very positive feedback has been received from companies. To explain the seriousness of the situation a little more, only 1 company sold 32,000 electric scooters and electric bicycles in 2020. The number of cells used in these vehicles is more than 1 million. The cost of these cells to the company is close to 100 million liras. While only 1 company has such a high battery need, the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles in our country increases this need even more. The global battery market, which was 532 billion dollars in 2017, is expected to be around 700 billion dollars in 2024. Unfortunately, our country is only a consumer in this market at this stage. With this initiative, it is aimed to enter the market as a manufacturer, create a customer portfolio and increase production capacity over the years. |
| 12 | Startup name: Avrupa'nın Lityum İyon Pil Değer Zinciri İçin Yeni Bir Dairesel Ekosistem Yoluyla Kritik Ham Maddelerin Uygulanabilir Geri Kazanımı (Viable Recovery of Critical Raw Materials through a New Circular Ecosystem for Europe’s Lithium-ion Battery Value Chain) Startup area in UI Greenmetric questionnaire (SI, EC, WS, WR, TR, ED): WS, EC Description: The negative environmental impacts of the linear ‘take, make, dispose’ model, which is the dominant economic model of our time, are not yet green enough to reduce the carbon footprint of mobility to the lowest levels. It has become necessary to develop new recycling processes to achieve higher efficiencies and recovery rates to re-introduce Critical Raw Materials from used lithium-ion batteries to the market. The recycling technology of lithium-ion batteries is still at the laboratory level due to the complex structure of their waste. Currently, pyrometallurgy is the most applied method in the industry. Although this process does not require pre-treatment, it is energy wasting, the equipment investment is large and will cause serious pollution. In response to these problems, many companies are developing hydrometallurgical processes that can recover lithium and aluminum with low energy consumption. However, this process requires pre-treatment, leaching, purification and other steps and may be a long way off. On the other hand, direct recycling may be an alternative due to its environmental advantages and can recover cathode materials while preserving their chemical structure, but it is still in the development stage. FREE4LIB aims to develop 6 new, sustainable and efficient process technologies at TRL 5-6 level to recycle used lithium-ion batteries (disassembly, pretreatment and 4 material recovery processes). The project, which offers very innovative recycling solutions to achieve high efficiency, is based on the main concept of material recovery (metal oxides, metals and polymers) improving the supply of secondary resources at EU level. FREE4LIB will also present technologies to improve 3 processes targeting the reuse of metals and polymers and electrode synthesis in the same value chain as secondary raw materials for the remanufacture of greener batteries and will explore options to utilize non-reusable elements in other areas. FREE4LIB will also present a methodology based on the Battery Passport principles to improve traceability of processes. |

Thanks to this system, not only efficient heating is guaranteed, but also cooling can be provided to the coops when necessary. As a hot heat source, the hot fluid obtained from the indoor heat discharged outside and solar collectors will be used to refresh the indoor air in chicken farms. Thus, it is aimed to obtain high COP values. At the same time, many chicken breeding farms have recently benefited from the incentives given and have their roofs covered with photovoltaic solar panels and have started to produce their own electricity. If the heat pump system operates with the electricity obtained from these panels, a completely zero-waste and zero-cost heating system will be achieved. The development of both heat pump application and photovoltaic solar panel systems together for farms will also be a part of the project. Another element is the use of a solar collector supported heat pump, photovoltaic solar panels as well as a heat recovery system. In addition, this system to be developed will also ensure that the high humidity inside the chicken farms, which brings many problems with it at certain periods, is eliminated. During the operation of these high humidity ventilation fans, the air drawn from outside will be passed directly through radiators and/or intermediates, its humidity will be reduced and sent inside, and this low humidity air will be circulated inside with the apparatus systems.
