Since 2007, the Stadtwerk Winterthur climate fund has been supporting regional and local projects on the sustainable use of energy and climate protection. Two projects will now be funded with a total of 100,000 Swiss francs, the city of Winterthur informs in a press release. Both projects are spin-offs from Zurich universities.<\/p>\n
Borobotics is working on increasing the efficiency of boreholes for heat pumps. The Grabowski drilling method from the spin-off of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences is designed to simplify and automate such drilling operations. In addition, Grabowski requires less space and energy than current drilling equipment. The climate fund’s grant of 80,000 Swiss francs will be used to develop and build a prototype.<\/p>\n
Z\u00fcrich Soft Robotics GmbH is taking an innovative approach to solar power production. The solar fa\u00e7ade Solskin of the spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich is composed of many small and flexible photovoltaic elements. They can follow the position of the sun and, in combination, also shade the interior of the building. Z\u00fcrich Soft Robotics GmbH will also use the grant of 20,000 Swiss francs to build a pilot system.<\/p>\n
The Stadtwerk Winterthur climate fund raises its funds through voluntary contributions from the customers of Stadtwerk Winterthur. Participants pay a surcharge of 2 centimes on each kilowatt hour of electricity purchased.<\/p>\n
