Did you know that Saharan ants inspired the development of an electricity-free cooling technology?Tapping on scientific research findings of their supervisor, Dr Edwin Tso Chi-yan from the City University of Hong Kong's School of Energy and Environment (SEE), research assistant Shirley Du and PhD student Martin Zhu, set up “i2Cool” to develop and promote zero-energy, low-cost, highly-efficient passive radiative cooling paint to save energy and reduce carbon emissions in cooling buildings.One of the product's they developed is a radiative paint, that when applied to the exterior wall of a building, can simultaneously reflect sunlight and dissipate the building's heat into space, resulting in a drop in the building's indoor temperature.On this episode of Open for Business, we speak with Dr Martin Zhu, CEO and Co-founder of i2Cool Limited, about how ants inspired the tech behind this paint, why 2 academics jumped into the startup world, and what lies ahead for i2cool. I2Cool Limited is a start-up technology company, incubated by HK TECH 300 in the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and Hong Kong Science and Technology Park

Allan Gray joins the Smart City Podcast to discuss low cost low impact transportation solutions, as well as a variety of other topics, including supercapacitors.  Listeners will learn about: · What's happening in the Philippines right now. · How mobile battery backup can help keep critical operations running during grid outages. · How do solar and electric vehicle technologies fit into the Filipino energy and public transport sectors and what kinds of obstacles do they face? · The current state of the solar industry? · What's been the perspective of the different stakeholders of these communities about electric vehicles? · What do you do if you're a city manager or a citizen activist?  About sunETrike:  The sunEtrike solar electric transport solution handles the vehicles, batteries and solar as distinct units for planning & scaling. The pilot shuttle service mentioned in this episode achieved its targetted ROI of 30% before being shut down by the Coved pandemic and end of contract.  These low-speed electric tricycles are best suited to last mile transportation of people and cargo. They have capacity to carry up to seven passengers or 500 kg of freight, with top operating speeds of 50 km/h. The trikes can travel approximately 40 km per battery charge, depending on weight and hills.  At its peak, our pilot was running 220 to 250 km per day.  The Supercapacitor/HESS project was spun into a new company (Hessner) upon admission into the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park's Incubation Program in 2020 Want to be a guest on our podcast?
