Projects and initiatives

NCSD's current initiatives focus on practical systems for Ukrainian communities operating under crisis conditions.

Thermal storage from construction debris

Sustainable ThermoSolutions: Simple Heat

Simple Heat converts concrete debris from damaged buildings into material for a high-temperature thermal storage system capable of storing heat at up to 1000 C.

  • An autonomous modular heating system that avoids fossil fuels.
  • Potential use cases include schools, kindergartens, hospitals, care homes and private households.
  • A pilot demonstration is planned in the Dmytrivka territorial community in Kyiv region.

Energy, heat and food resilience from waste

BioSolar Nexus

BioSolar Nexus is a modular system that converts household, livestock and food waste into electricity, heat, clean cooking gas and fertiliser.

  • The system combines solar PVT panels, an insulated anaerobic biodigester, biogas micro-cogeneration and smart IoT control.
  • It is designed for Ukrainian winters and crisis conditions where many international analogues are unsuitable.
  • A demonstration site is planned at the Nemishayeve Professional College livestock training and production laboratory.
