Fish Swimming

Fish Sludge Methanization

Description

The RAS Project explores the development of a land-based fish farm to be co-hosted at Stored Solar’s biomass powerplant in East Ryegate, VT. Primary objectives include increased powerplant efficiencies, 100% utilization of waste streams and byproducts, diversified revenue streams, and reciprocal benefits to the local ecosystem, regional economy, and UN SDGs focused on reliable food and ocean protections. This project aims to shift the paradigm of seafood and energy production from consumption to regeneration in alignment with Born Global’s Biohub initiatives.

Leaf

Artificial Leaf

Description

This project explores the use of hydrogen energy on a residential scale. Our household system will comprise of the following stages: hydrogen production, storage, and conversion to electrical energy. This includes a photo electrolytic “artificial leaf” based on the process of photosynthesis in leaves, a bioinspired storage unit, and a small-scale fuel cell
