Transforming Agriculture Residues to Bio-Composite Solutions for Sustainable Growth and Energy Efficiency in Brazil and Bangladesh
Many countries, like Brazil and Bangladesh, struggle with inefficient energy use and limited access to clean energy sources (Bangladesh) leading to high electricity bills, unreliable power grids, and unhealthy cooking practices. Brazil and Bangladesh hold significant potential for solar technologies to tackle their energy challenges and Agriculture plays a key role in both economies, generating significant waste. TERRA project proposes to transform agriculture waste into Shape-Stabilized Phase Change Materials(SSPCMs). The SSPCMs could be explained as a thermal battery, that absorbs and stores excess heat, like sunlight or waste heat, and then releases it later for various uses: hot water, cooler buildings, or even cleaner cooking solutions.
