BASICALLY, TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS

THREATNING THE SUSTAINANCE OF LIFE ON EARTH. (

MICRO-LEVEL & MACRO-LEVEL.)

WHAT IS THE AIM OF ANY LIFE-SCIENCESENGINEER IN TODAYS WORLD?


3/19

ONE OF THE MOST THREATENINGPROBLEMS IN THE WORLD ENERGY !!! The worlds population consumes 15 terawatts of

power from a combination of all the energysources available.

In the current world scenario all the NATURALRESOURCES of Energy are being consumed atsuch a high rate that soon these resources willcompletely perish and it will be difficult to caterthe needs of the world.

There have been claims that in the next 50 yearsfrom now, all the available natural resources ofenergy will be completely perished.

AND this makes us to develop NEW sources ofenergy which are not only RENEWABLE but alsoSUSTAINABLE.

SOLUTION PLANT-E

Using plants for generating energy withoutharvesting them.

Green Energy produced is far more efficient

when compared to energy from biomass.This technology was published in the

International Journal of Energy Research(IJER) in 2008 by scientist from a Dutch

university.Has a simple mechanism.

PRINCIPLE :

Helophytes (Eg. Phalaris)secrete a large part of theirexcess sugars and organicacids (so-called exudates) fromtheir roots, a phenomenoncalled as RHIZODEPOSITION.

These acids and sugars arebroken down by naturallyoccurring bacteria in the soil.

During this breakdown e- &H+ are released, which arewasted in the soil.

Harvesting these electrons &

protons, by placing graphiteballs at the surface of theroots, electricity can begenerated.


12/19

RHIZODEPOSITION :

Rhizosphere isthe narrow regionof soil that is

directlyinfluenced by rootsecretions andassociated soilmicroorganisms.

It is this regionwhere the actualbreakdown takesplace.

USES & APPLICATIONS:

Experiments have shown that one hectare of reedgrass can supply electrical power of around14,000 Watts under European field conditions,enough to provide a years energy supply for 28

households. This technique does not interfere with the other

physiological processes of the crop.

The plants used also convert CO2-> O2 whichhelps in bringing a balance in the surrounding

environment. Green electricity Roofs have become a biological

hit across European nations.

PLANT-E TECHNOLOGY WORKS EFFICIENTLY BOTHDURING THE DAY & NIGHT.

This technology can be applied not only in developedareas but also to Rice fields, Wet lands and Polluted areasas well.
