Going Global: Pavegen (London, United Kingdom)

Renewable energy from footsteps - it’s only a matter of time. London-based Pavegen builds energy-harvesting tiles based on a hybrid piezoelectric technology that transform footsteps into electricity. The Pavegen technology is practical in areas with high foot traffic and is particularly useful where grid connections are not feasible. This technology also provides an interactive opportunity to engage people with sustainability and energy understanding. Now, is being overweight really good for the environment? Find out as we speak to the Founder and Inventor of Pavegen Systems, Laurence Kemball-Cook.
