Blog: Two weeks left to apply to EMEC’s ETV competition
There are only two weeks left to apply to EMEC’s competition offering free Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) to successful technology developers.
ETV is a new verification programme to help innovative environmental technology companies enter the market quicker by independently verifying the specific performance claims of their new technology. The Statement of Verification delivered at the end of the ETV process can be used as evidence that the claims made about the innovation are both credible and scientifically sound. With proof of performance credibly assured, reducing the technological risk for technology purchasers, innovations can expect to:
- Attract investment;
- Increase market share; and
- Differentiate from competitors.
EMEC is seeking proposals from developers of innovative technologies that have environmental added-value. The competition is open to all companies worldwide, providing technologies fall into one of the two following categories.
Energy technologies:
- Production of heat and power from renewable sources of energy (e.g. biomass, geothermic, wave, tidal and wind);
- Reuse of energy from waste (e.g. 3rd generation biofuels and combustion technologies);
- Energy efficiency technologies (e.g. micro-turbines, hydrogen and fuel cells, heat pumps, CHP, logistics).
Water treatment & monitoring technologies:
- Monitoring of water quality for microbial and chemical contaminants (e.g. test kits, probes, analysers);
- Treatment of drinking water for microbial and chemical contaminants (e.g. filtration, chemical disinfection, advanced oxidisation);
- Treatment of wastewater for microbial and chemical contaminants (e.g. separation techniques, biological treatment, electromechanical methods, small-scale treatment systems for sparsely populated areas).
The deadline for submitting an application for Stage 1 of the competition is midnight 5 June 2015.
