Global cleantech pioneer Pavegen has unveiled three new interactive installations at iconic London spaces as it also announces its latest crowdfunding campaign.
The “Step Up for Climate Change” project will see Pavegen technology installed at 22 Bishopsgate, Old Spitalfields Market, during London Climate Action Week and the Wimbledon Tennis Championships over the next fortnight.
Measurable climate change
Pavegen claims these public-facing installations will transform everyday movement into measurable climate change with Pavegen, in partnership with reforestation company, Evergreen, pledging to plant a tree for every 200 footsteps recorded. The campaign aims to generate enough clean energy over the campaign to plant a forest the size of Wimbledon’s iconic Centre Court – offsetting 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ over the trees’ lifetime.
By turning movement into momentum, Pavegen reports every office worker, commuter, tourist or sports fan will be part of a collective act of climate action. Using kinetic energy, combined with real-time data the campaign will show how every step has the power to generate clean electricity, plant trees and inspire change.
