Press release
We know the GreenEvo winners
We already know the winners of the 3rd edition of the GreenEvo - Technology Accelerator project
of the Ministry of the Environment. The Ministry awarded ten out of 14 nominated companies,
offering the total of 11 environmentally friendly technologies.
The winning solutions include i.a. a system for the production of liquid fuels from plastic waste and the
Integrator - an intelligent system for renewable energy management. The first solution serves to process
waste form plastic originating from industry and households into liquid fuels. The technology is safe,
environmentally friendly and economical, due to the repeated usage of post-production and municipal
waste. The Integrator combines conventional and renewable energy sources, which enables achieving big
savings on the heating of buildings and the preparation of hot water.
GreenEvo - Technology Accelerator is a project of the Ministry of the Environment that has been
conducted for 3 years. The aim of the undertaking is to promote Polish green technologies on foreign
markets and to support their export. We want to show the World that Poland has innovative, ecological solutions
which may compete with the largest global players. National environmentally friendly technologies form the basis for the
development of a Polish green economy, the enhancement of our competitiveness and the creation of new jobs, says Marcin
Korolec, the Minister of the Environment.
GreenEvo prize-winners may count on various forms of support - from the participation in foreign
commercial missions to subsidies from the export support funds offered by the Ministry of Economy and
the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development. The effectiveness of the programme is proven by the
success of its participants. The winners of the two GreenEvo editions held to date have improved their
financial results by over 30 percent and over half of them have increased their employment rates.
Additional information on the winners of this year's edition of GreenEvo and the project is available at:

Technology’s description
Production of mercury free
insulating glass polyurethane
sealants
Two-component polyurethane sealant for
windows that do not contain toxic isocyanates.
The clue is the use of hybrid polymers, so that the
product is safe and environmentally friendly.
Production started in 2011 and right now is tested
on an industrial scale. Technology was created for
workers producing glass and windows, in order to
raise their safety in contact with the sealant.
Production of isocyanate free
polyurethane sealants
Polyurethane sealant for insulating glass, which
contains no mercury in its composition, is used to
protect the interior glazing units against moisture,
as long as you maintain an inert gas (argon) and
the glass panes permanently connected with the
spacer element. In the manufacture of sealants is
used mercury-free recipes and organic compounds
of bismuth, which are not toxic to the
environment and do not accumulate in living
organisms. In addition, the product does not
contain phthalates.
Production of hydraulic
binders based on Coal
Combustion Products
Production technology of hydraulic binders
consists of treating the waste (ash from the
combustion of lignite and hard coal in pulverized
coal or fluidized bed) in a useful, cost-competitive
and environmental-friendly mineral hydraulic
binders for various geotechnical applications.
Innovativeness is the application of the
technology for a production of road materials and
hydraulic waste from energy sector. Thanks to this
is produced a completely new type of material hydraulic binder which could substitute
compound products based on cement or lime.
The application of aluminum
in the production of solar
collector absorbers
The Hewalex company is a producer of
innovative flat solar thermal collector which is
made completely of aluminum. The aluminum
absorber used in the solar-type Am, has both
aluminum tubing and plate. Laser welding
provides a precise and strong connection of the
aluminum elements without deformation of the
absorber sheet and eliminates the occurrence of
corrosion in place of contact between them. In
addition, by using laser welding the rate of heat
2
transfer fluid running inside the pipes is enhanced.
The result is a high technical efficiency of the
collector Am type.

The production of KAPLANs
water turbine
KAPLANs water turbine is used to convert the
energy of the watercourse into mechanical energy.
Turbine by the fact that is connected with a
moving rotor blades achieves high power
efficiency up to 92% in a very wide range of flow
rates from 20% to 100% of the esophagus in
installed turbine. This solution allows for very
efficient use of energy of the river.
The technology, called
insulating concrete formwork
is mend for erection of
durable structures of highly
energy saving and passive
houses. The structure is made
out of concrete casted on site
into formwork made out of
insulating materials (EPS,
Neopor and Peropor).
Izodom's technology is based on the
comprehensive application of insulating foam
components for the construction of houses.
Technology has excellent insulation from the
floors, through walls, ceiling to the roof. The
system is notable in that it prevents the formation
of thermal bridges. The construction process of
foundation slab is based on erecting a formwork
out on insulating formwork blocs. The shuttering
is field with concrete, which creates monolithical
slab, which is low a load bearing element. The
following system is designed for fast erection of
passive houses or highly insulating ones.
Recycling of materials used in
industry
Technology is based on comprehensive
disassembling and utilization of redundant
ammunition. Process is carried out safely for both
environment and people operating this
installation. “PLANETARIUM” system enable
secure a lot of ammunition types and sizes
utilization. Moreover, installation is mobile and
provide possibility of its displacement, what
results reduction of transportation costs. In
addition, expenses reduction can also be seen as a
result of lack of preparing necessary researches of
ammunition stability and ability to transport.
LMS is the acronym of Logic Managing System.
Elements of the system cooperate with each other
wirelessly. Optimization of radio communicating
circuit has resulted in very low power
LMS - Logic Managing System consumption in apartments, houses and each and
every public building. Every element branded with
LMS symbol cooperates with others and easily
create intelligent building - resulting in measurable
savings in energy consumption and environmental
3
protection. Battery powered devices can operate
up to 20 years without the need for battery
replacement. Productivity of lithium battery is
resolving the problem of Smart Metering, Smart
Grid and Smar House for devices without access
to electric power supply. Average power usage is
between 400-800nA, during standby 50nA.The
system is allowing to mount mini regulators in for
example: window handles, heaters, wireless
thermostats, ventilators and as well in gas and
water meters, where it is not possible to have
electric power continuously. Connectivity might
be bidirectional, providing both user and operator
(like gasworks, waterworks, power industry)
possibility of controlling and steering.
Additionally, consumer is no longer industrial
waste batteries producer. LMS is entirely Polish
technology, created as a result of lack of
equivalents for this type of systems.

sources of energy.
Qenergy Sp. z o.o.
Gasification technology is an innovative approach
to traditional combustion, because the company
separated the process of
gasification and
combustion of the gas into two separate
processes. It gives much better control of the
process, formation of oxides and migrations of
heavy metals into the exhaust has been
minimized. This gasification technology allows to
the use of biomass and strong variety of a waste
as a fuel. A major advantage of the technology) is
the possibility of utilizing biomass and waste at
source and the production of renewable heat and
electricity. A waste management facilities based
on gasification technologies are designed to meet
the most stringent emission standards.
