Toulouse, London and other cities have adopted this ingenious method of producing green energy, so why not Brussels?!
Energy-generating pavements are based on the concept that city dwellers can effortlessly generate their own electricity. The more people walk across a surface, the more energy is generated. On busy streets such as rue Neuve or the pedestrian precinct around place De Brouckère, such a system would generate a great deal of energy while cutting down on urban pollution. It would both generate green energy and save energy. Summary of advantages: - Green energy – Savings – Statistics re traffic, peak times, etc. – Practical – Fun
