Another reduction in cost measures plant growth can be powered by LED lamps

A Plant-e company, founded by researchers at the University of Wageningen in Holland, has developed a new technology to get electricity from growing plants and to light the city's LED street lights at night. At present, the technology has been opened in two local places.

This plant - based technical project is well suited to the roofs of urban buildings and houses. According to the introduction, the new technology is based on the natural process of capturing electrons from the soil and generating electricity by the continuous growth of plants. This method does not damage plants in the process, only light, carbon dioxide and water are needed. When plants grow, they produce more sugar than they need, which can be recycled and decomposed by the surrounding soil, releasing protons and electrons. The researchers placed electrodes into the soil and captured electronic power from them.

According to a recent report by the physicist organization network, more than 300 LED lights in hem lagag were completely lighted by the company called the "starry sky". And plant power is also used in the company's headquarters in Wageningen, Holland. These two projects are all used for local aquatic plants.

The company's new technology and equipment can already be used in the existing paddy fields, and the various types of wetlands are more applicable. Engineers can place pipelines below the horizontal surface of the wetland, such as peat swamps, mangroves, rice fields, or deltas, to make electricity.

Founded in 2009 by David Stehlik and Makilin Held at the University of Wageningen in Holland, the company is a potential energy company, mainly a plant generation project.

The company's ultimate goal is to develop the project to all parts of the world. The founder of the company said, "it is hoped that one day, this technology can provide electricity for poor areas, where there is a rich plant world, such as rice or nearby wetlands. If you can calculate how to operate in a low cost way, it would mean that this new clean energy source will bring the gospel to people in the power scarcity, which is estimated to be nearly 25% of the world's population.
