There is a Spanish company that generates electricity through plants

It's called Bioois a biotechnology company born in Spain that seeks to develop innovative technological solutions. The company's idea is to promote a more sustainable future.

According to the company, through the Bioo Panel project, which is installed underground, it is possible to generate and supply energy through the bacteria that are in the soil. This natural panel produces 20Wh per square meter per year and is applicable in gardens and parks.

To this end, the company has also created biological batteries that produce electricity from soil. "When microorganisms present in the soil decompose organic matter, electrons are released, which in turn generate energy. The idea is that these batteries will be applied in agriculture in the near future through the Bioo Sensor," explain the creators, noting that "in addition to being ecological, this solution is cheaper than traditional batteries and solar panels.

Meanwhile, other projects of the company range from using plants as biological light switches, to a biotechnological botanical garden where plants play musical notes or instruments - all as a reaction to human touch.
