There is great turmoil in Germany as regards energy Eco Concept renovated. In Berlin was presented a project for the construction of a wind farm to produce hydrogen electricity that will become operational in two years. For the implementation is expected to cost around two million euros. The objective in the near future is to sell hydrogen in the city. To achieve this goal we are working on two lines project: a service station to be built on the spot and a means to accumulate the hydrogen produced and transported to Berlin to the various distributors. The hydrogen made from clean energy such as wind power is an element on which the city of Berlin and Germany in general are working in alternative energies. In the German city already circulating 14 hydrogen-powered buses and the objective is to bring the bus fleet to 40 cars more in the coming years.

At the time the problems associated with the development of this political economy is tied to the cost of the energy carrier (about 8 euros per kilo), as well as the presence of non-capillary service stations and distribute it to a policy of incentives and choices it really favors.

Throughout Germany there are about 21 stations that distribute hydrogen, made from industrial waste, but other stations (in Berlin, Hamburg and Monaco) hydrogen is achieved in part by renewable energy and partly by gas resources. In Germany the policy of dissemination of hydrogen are quite serious and major carmakers, including BMW, especially, watching with interest the evolution of the situation?

It provides in the coming years, availability of funds for pilot projects aimed at producing hydrogen from green energy of 1.4 billion euros for half coming from public funds and half by industry funding.

Cycling is good for our health and our planet’s too! The vehicle gives out zero emissions. We all know that but what we don’t know and might find it to be bizarre is the fact that someone’s creativity has resulted in an Eco-bike Concept that facilitates growing plants on your bike!! Yes, I too was intrigued and took time to absorb the fact. But Aji Kusuma’s latest bicycle design is creating ripples of excitement among the co-contestants who participated in the Design 21 (a social design network)’s competition.

Modern designers like to take a tip or two from nature while working on their innovations. Kusuma believes the Eco-bike concept is a unique way of growing plants in a somewhat mobile fashion! The designer reasons out that one needs to plant more saplings today in order to protect our environment and since people don’t have ample time today on their hands to get involved in gardening so they might as well grow their plants on their bikes and contribute towards a green tomorrow.

The Eco-bike concept has a ‘hexa’ shape that provides strength to the bicycle frame. It has flat retractable platform at a level just above the pedals where some green plants like moss can be grown. These small plants don’t hinder the cycling experience of biker and cleanse the atmosphere. The latter is done by absorbing the CO2 emitted by cars via emissions. Through photosynthesis these mosses consume CO2 emissions and provide fresh air (O2) to one and all! Well, the Eco-bike concept sure looks promising but it might need a few alterations to suite the tastes of eco-savvy people.
