The project fits into challenge 6 - SDG and COVID-19, which applies a solution that aims to reduce the impacts of the pandemic in relation to compliance with SDG 7 - Access to clean and accessible energy, encouraging the democratization of electricity in a clean way and sustainable, which also implies SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities. The project takes into account the current context, but the impacts affected remain and encourage progress in society during and after the pandemic.
The Challenge 6 proved to be the most interesting and with the greatest opportunities to make a significant difference for society, as it aims to reduce the impacts of the pandemic in meeting the goals established by the SDGs, which are extremely important in the current scenario. Especially regarding SDG 7 - Access to Clean and Accessible Energy, as the lack of energy in this scenario has a very negative impact on people's lives during social isolation.
Together with the team, the main problems were discussed and various solutions were raised. Gathering ideas and researching, all together, we managed to arrive at a main idea, from where we started to develop the project. We share tasks and stay motivated, communicating and sharing information at all times.
Worldwide real-time electricity distribution and wealth distribution data, obtained from NASA satellites and websites, were used to relate and determine in which areas the project should be deployed first and to which it is intended.
The team found difficult to use more advanced projection platforms for prototypes and data collection, but even with the difficulties, we managed to create a 3D model of the main idea of the project.
Hello, we are GreenLantern!
According to UN data in 2016, more than a billion people live without electricity. But, during the pandemic, the effects of a lack of energy took on larger proportions, affecting poor people without access to energy. So, we created the “turn on the light” project, which aims to install biodigestors that transform household waste into biomass, that MAKES clean and sustainable energy.
If the future is dark, don't forget to turn on the light.
