The Energy Bridge project focuses on exploring algal fuel cells using affordable materials, presenting an innovative approach to sustainable energy production. This initiative transforms a well-known bridge in London into an educational and cutting-edge example of microbial fuel cell technology, emphasizing their role in achieving urban sustainability. The design uniquely blends the bridge’s imposing structure with the elegant concept of inflatables, offering a dynamic experience for users. This is further enhanced by the changing colors and growth patterns of algae in the fuel cells, which vary with the seasons, adding an interactive and visually appealing aspect to the bridge.
