Generating Energy from footsteps



Renewable energy from every single step...

Technology


Everytime someone walks over the Pavegen tile, renewable energy is harvested from the footstep. The technology converts the kinetic energy to electricity which can be stored and used for a variety of applications.

The Pavegen tile contains a central luminaire which glows when walked over, engaging the user with the renewable generation process.

The energy produced is used to power off-grid applications such as pedestrian lighting, wayfinding solutions and advertising.

The technology is best suited to high-footfall urban environments. The Pavegen technology offers the first tangible way for people to engage with renewable energy generation.


Materials
The top surface of the flooring unit is made from 100% recycled rubber and the base of the slab is constructed from over 80% recycled materials. The system is designed to be retrofitted in place of existing flooring systems.


Durabilty
The Pavegen tiles are designed to be used in the harsh outdoor locations with high footfall. The slabs are waterproof to allow them to operate efficiently in both internal and external environments.
