the nature of this technology it is accessible wherever water is available
and plants can grow.
Ready for consumers to experiment with, P-MFC based at-home
kits are now available to purchase through Plant-e. Plant-e is an
offshoot organization focused on creating consumer-grade applications for P-MFC technology, formed by Marjolein Helder and
David Strik, of the Environmental Sub-department at Wageningen
University in the Netherlands. Plant-e now sells modules that can be
constructed for homes and can light up LED ornamental lights.
As for developing large-scale modules, Plant-e continues to
research the use of natural energy flows, light, carbon dioxide
and water to create electricity. The "largest modular system
[developed is] 100 square meters and the 400 modules can
generate electricity that can be used for blinking LEDs, LED
strips, or decorative light objects" notes Plant-e's Jacqueline
Hoogendoorn-Niemeijer. She believes that the green roof inREAD THIS ISSUE ONLINE AT LIVINGARCHITECTUREMONITOR.COM
dustry can utilize this technology to help light the buildings they
top, among other applications. Applying Marjorein's findings,
and Plant-e's technology, may provide more accessible living
conditions for residents by reducing electricity costs. And, if
these practices are adopted within North America, perhaps they
can also be adopted by developing countries to help light their
way too.
