Glowee
Glowee develops a bioluminescent raw material to tackle the environmental and health related issues of electricity for lighting.
Early stageEnlightened by the sea
Biological lighting. – Sewage depolluting. – CO2 capture. – Biomass creation. –
The need
There is a requirement to offer an alternative solution for the 15% global share of electricity used for the purpose of lighting, which accounts for 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing light pollution is also essential.
The solution
A form of biotechnology (technology inspired by nature), Glowee has developed a microorganism-based material that produces bioluminescence, just like fireflies, glow-worms and over 80% of marine organisms. It offers biological lighting, biomass creation, CO2 capture and depolluting of sewage.
The value proposition
• Highly aesthetic light.
• Wide-ranging environmental benefits.
