A nightclub in Glasgow is working to make sustainable use of the energy released by its guests on the dance floor. future oriented club systemSWG3“could good news network According to Popular Nightspots Save up to 70 tons of CO2 per year.
Similar concepts already exist in California or Rotterdam, for example: there, clubs use the kinetic energy of dancers on the floor to generate electricity. But the “SWG3” club is the first place in the world to test the so-called body heat system. The initiative will be presented at the UN-backed COP26 climate conference, which begins in the Scottish port city on October 31.
one in Explanation The club says: “We are very excited to announce our plans to introduce a state-of-the-art renewable heating and cooling system for the SWG3 complex, Which converts the body heat of clubbers and gig-goers into an energy source that can be reused.,
BodyHeat uses a heat pump and fluid to concentrate the body heat generated by the crowd in SWG3. This heat can then be either instant To cool the audience by using air conditioning used or stored underground unless they to heat the building needed.
a human being Body Emits about 100 watts of additional heat, which can add up quickly in a confined space. huge amount of heat People Released in a currently unused environment, in clubs or concerts. “With this new system,” said the club operator, “We can harness this heat by using a little electricity and gas on site, as well as reducing our CO2 emissions.”
Asian cuisine, in which underwater plants are an integral part of the menu, proves that seaweed is edible and can even be insanely delicious. This healthy super-food is also popular in Europe, in the form of sushi, dried chips and soups. Scientists are just now discovering that algae can do more than just be delicious: they have the potential to replace plastic with a sustainable version (Watson reported), Some companies are already taking advantage of this discovery. The same is the case with Berlin-based start-up Einhorn. The condom and period sales division recently developed a packaging made from brown algae as a prototype.
