What is ISCLEANAIR and Its Innovative APA Technology?
ISCLEANAIR is a trailblazer in the world of air pollution abatement, shaking up the environmental sustainability scene with its groundbreaking APA technology – that’s Air Pollution Abatement, by the way. This isn’t just any tech; it’s protected by over 20 patents, making it a true game-changer. The APA system taps into the power of nature, relying solely on water and mechanical processes—no filters needed. Imagine reducing up to 99% of ambient air pollution, tackling a broad spectrum of pollutants, including those pesky greenhouse gases and tiny nanoparticles. What’s more, APA is super flexible and comes with low management and maintenance costs, making it a perfect fit for all sorts of applications. With over 200 installations and 60 projects under its belt, plus a treasure trove of intellectual property rights and top-tier certifications, ISCLEANAIR stands tall as a global leader in ambient air purification technology.
The Main Benefit: Tackling Pollution Head-On
Air pollution is a massive problem worldwide, and ISCLEANAIR’s APA technology addresses it head-on. Here are some eye-opening facts that highlight why this matters so much:
- Every year, 8 million deaths are caused by air pollution.
- 92% of the global population breathes polluted air daily.
- Europe alone suffers a staggering $1.6 trillion in economic loss due to mortality linked to pollution.
These numbers come straight from the World Health Organization, underscoring the urgent need for solutions like APA.
Equity Crowdfunding Campaign: A Step Towards Growth
Between June and August 2022, ISCLEANAIR launched an equity crowdfunding campaign that opened new doors for the company. Selected by PwC, CFM, and 3IP as one of the top innovation companies with solid intellectual property and strong growth potential, ISCLEANAIR seized this opportunity to expand its business. The campaign aligned perfectly with major European initiatives like the European Green Deal, the Zero Pollution Ambition Plan of the European Commission, and Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). It was a strategic move to boost development while contributing to a greener future.
Funding and Grants: Backing Innovation
ISCLEANAIR’s journey is supported by significant funding and grants, which fuel its innovative projects. Key sources include:
- Funding from the POR I.3 Venture Capital Fund of the Lazio Region.
- The PURE project, co-funded by EIT Manufacturing, part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
- Support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No. GA806756.
- Resources from the FSC 2014-2020 – Development Pact of the Lazio Region, specifically the “ISDigital” project.
These funds not only back the APA project but also reinforce ISCLEANAIR’s commitment to cutting-edge environmental solutions.
APA Technology: How It Works and Why It’s Unique
APA – Air Pollution Abatement – is no ordinary tech. It’s a revolutionary, filter-less, modular, and intelligent system that integrates IoT services for real-time monitoring and abatement of pollutants both indoors and outdoors. By using just water and mechanical processes, it avoids the hassles and costs associated with traditional filters. This means cleaner air with less maintenance, and a system that adapts to different environments and needs. It’s smart, efficient, and eco-friendly—pretty much ticking all the boxes for modern environmental tech.
