'Team points' are awarded according to the adequacy of the solution with the type of innovations sought by Team for the Planet. They correspond to the analysis of several factors :

  • impact potential: impact average score > 4 => 0,5 point / if > 4,15 => 1 point.
  • global consistency: all average score of the 6 selection criteria > 2,5 => 1 point.
  • the favourite: % of assessments judge the innovation as a top one to act on a global scale against greenhouse gases > 20% => 1 point
  • the targeting: validation of Team for the Planet scope of action higher than 90% => 0,5 point + innovation level of maturity is enough => 0,5 point
  • social acceptability: semantic analysis score of comments > 0 => 0,5 point/ if > 3500 => 1 point
23 assessments

Submitted for assessment : After checking that an innovation is within the scope of the 20 issues Team for the Planet targets and that it has reached a sufficient maturity, the innovation is being assessed.

the largest project mankind can start to reduce energy consumption by increased efficiency

Submission date June 23, 2021 Founders Michiel Gommers Development location Netherlands

Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

Distillation is a very inefficient process which is responsible for 10+% of the industrial CO2 emissions in the world. RevSep can replace conventional distillation with energy savings of up to 90%, it is an enormous step towards a more sustainable industry while remaining economically interesting.

How is the problem solved?

It has a much higher thermal and thermodynamic efficiency due to a reversible energy cycle.

What is the customer target?

All (petro)chemical companies: Shell/Dow/etc., all air separation companies: Linde/Air Liquide/etc., all thermal desalination plants: Veolia/SUEZ/IDE/etc.

How is this solution different?

a reversible energy cycle
