Renewable energy is on the agenda of both countries and companies so that the world can continue on its way in a long-lasting and healthy way. A company called Severn Trent made an interesting move for renewable energy. The company will produce renewable energy with more than 50 thousand pumpkins.
Renewable energy production with pumpkin
According to the news on futureflow.life, Severn Trent Green Power rolled up its sleeves to produce renewable energy with more than 50 thousand pumpkins. The company anticipates producing approximately 22 MWh of energy with pumpkins left over after Halloween.
This amount of energy could power nearly 2,000 homes for an entire day. Recycling unwanted pumpkins is crucial to prevent them from ending up in landfills, where they decompose and release methane.
If it does it, it does it: Toyota has reached the mass production stage in solid state batteries!
Toyota is getting closer to producing solid-state batteries. It seems that the commercialization of this technology will be a big trump card in the global race.
Local councils in England often make provisions for the collection of pumpkins as well as other food waste. There is a noticeable increase in the volume of food waste in the week following Halloween in Oxfordshire. Similarly in the Midlands, significant amounts of local authority waste went to East and West Birmingham anaerobic digesters over the same period.
Green Power Commercial Director Andrew Simm he said:
“Last year we saw a large increase in food waste tonnage in our facilities in the week immediately following Halloween, with pumpkins accounting for the majority of this food waste, weighing an average of 4 kilograms each.”
