Problem
The increasing demand for renewable energy sources requires innovative solutions to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and achieve carbon emission reduction targets. Existing renewable energy infrastructure often faces challenges related to scalability, accessibility, and integration with existing infrastructure.
Solution
R-2 Energy offers road-based energy harvesting systems that convert kinetic energy from vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists into electricity. Their R2-Wolf system captures downward compression on road surfaces and transforms it into sustainable, on-demand energy. This energy can be used directly, redistributed, or stored, creating a closed-loop system. The system integrates with smart grids and can be applied across various sectors, including shipping and freight forwarding, ports and distribution, HGV & haulage, mining, construction, disaster relief, and forecourts.
Target Audience
R-2 Energy targets organizations across various sectors, including shipping and freight forwarding, ports and distribution, HGV & haulage, mining, construction, disaster relief, and forecourts, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve sustainability goals.
