Plant-powered energy harvesting system for IoT solutions

Plant-e is the world's only company harvesting energy from living plants without harming them. A women-led startup, Plant-e launched in 2009 as a spin-off of Wageningen University.

Based on the PhD research of Marjolein Helder, our CEO, Plant-e's team has 20+ years of commercial experience, multiple PhDs, and 10+ years of R&D experience in this field, pushing our growth to 2 granted patents and 3000+ prototypes tested so far.

With a business model based on device sales and maintenance fees, we entered the smart lighting and sensoring market with custom projects.

The Park of Tomorrow in Rotterdam (NL) is an interactive lighting system in a park and together with ESA data was collected and sent into space by P-MFC power.

Plant-e technology doesn't emit any greenhouse gases such as CO2 or methane, on the contrary: it acts as a carbon sink, capturing up to 2 kg of CO2/kWh produced. As such, Plant-e contributes to the ""zero pollution and carbon neutrality"" ambitions set by the EU.
