Proposal: The CanPoo Reactor Contest: Energy Supply 2016 Thank you for your contest entry, The CanPoo Reactor. We appreciate your willingness to share your ideas, and also the time and effort you put into developing a proposal and submitting it to the
. As your entry did not sufficiently address some of the revisions the Judges were hoping to see, we did not advance it to the next round of competition. We encourage you to keep developing your idea. Transfer your proposal to a Workspace to re-open it, make edits, add collaborators, and even submit it into a future contest. You can do so by logging into your account, opening your proposal, selecting the Admin tab, and clicking “Move proposal.” We welcome you to stay involved in the Climate CoLab community: support and comment on proposals that have been named Finalists, and vote during the public voting period to help select the contest’s Popular Choice Winner. Climate CoLab will be opening more contests throughout the year and you are welcome to submit your proposal to those contests as well. Keep up the great work. We hope that by working together, we all can create solutions that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. Sincerely, Contest Fellows If there are additional comments from the Judges & Fellows, they will be included below.

Hi and thanks for submitting a proposal to the Energy Supply Team. Its an exciting idea that is worth further development, but there are a couple of points to consider in future iterations. Waste to energy efforts are not new and there are interesting aspects of other waste-to-energy systems that could be useful here. In future proposals, it would be great to see some economic and technical feasibility estimates, especially the technical aspects of using radioactive materials to generate H2 from waste and how that compares to conventional technology.

We hope you will consider trying again future contests and good luck with your endeavors.

Thank you for your proposal submission. For the next round of judging, please add detail that will help justify the economics and technical feasibility of using radioactive materials to generate hydrogen from waste and compare it to conventional technology. It is unclear how S.T.O.L. aircraft can contribute to the success of this proposal. An assessment of the energy used to redirect human waste vs. potential output from hydrogen is warranted. Also, it would be good to understand how hydrogen will be used to generate electricity (e.g., steam generation, fuel cell, etc.)

We look forward to your revisions for the next round.
