Terra Power

Terra Power was founded to develop a technology that produces renewable energy using plants grown on contaminated land, whilst simultaneously remediating the land over time. We use the power of plants to remediate mercury-contaminated sites using a process called phytoremediation. Then we use innovative technology to decontaminate the plants we grow and transform them into biogas through anaerobic digestion. Terra Power addresses the UN Minamata Convention on Mercury and the Paris Climate Change Accord. It achieves eight UN Sustainable Development Goals including SDG #7: Affordable and clean energy, andSDG #13: Life on Land, reversing land degradation. It also supports SDG #1: Poverty alleviation, SDG #8: Decent work and economic growth, SDG #9: Innovation and infrastructure, SDG #10: Reducing inequalities,#12: Responsible production and consumption, and #13 Climate action.
