We installed a system in 2016 in the wet nature garden on the campus of Wageningen University, close to the Plant-e nursery. This wet nature garden has a groundwater level +/-20cm below ground level. This is ideal for generating plant current.

This small wet nature garden is comparable in situation to large-scale swamp meadow areas and peat landscapes. The experiment at Wageningen University gives us the opportunity to test our systems in a very suitable field location right next door.

For the location of the system at this specific location on the campus, it was decided to make it part of a walking path across the Campus of Wageningen University, making the system freely accessible to passers-by.

The electricity generated by living plants in the natural wet garden is used to illuminate a custom-made information board.
