Tracking your carbon footprint. 25 February 2008 An innovation called Carbon Hero may help reduce global warming by making people more aware of their carbon footprint. Regional prize winner in the 2007 European Satellite Navigation Competition, sponsored by ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme, the device uses satellite navigation technology to track journeys. Concerned about global warming, many people are now looking for ways to reduce their generation of carbon dioxide (CO2).

One option is to use public transport and limit journeys by car and plane; however, although this can significantly reduce each person’s carbon footprint, until now the benefits have been difficult to measure. CarbonDiem, a key ring sensor displays the carbon footprint on a mobile phone “With Carbon Hero calculating your carbon footprint is easy,” explains Andreas Zachariah, a graduate student from the Royal College of Art in London and inventor of Carbon Hero.

Andreas Zachariah demonstrates CarbonDiem to Prince Philip To be tested in industry. IoBridge | Remote Control and Monitoring Solutions. Technology.

There Corporation has a plan to publish and widely share its ThereGate™ platform and APIs. Due to market interest in energy related applications we have during the first business year of the company focused our R&D work heavily on these solutions and the components needed to support them in the platform.

All this work and components are enhancing the capabilities of the ThereGate platform and will also benefit future platform users Focus on projects with partners We are actively working on integration projects of Home Energy Management Solutions (HEMS) in partnerships with several companies using the ThereGate platform as a hub or an “airport” connecting different measurement and control devices, back-end systems and the users. Going There with us Even if this is not the time to widely open the ThereGate interfaces and SDKs it is good to know that we already have a platform with APIs that has a lot of capabilities.
