Word Count: 202
Dutch startup Plant-e’s living battery harnesses photosynthesis electrons (2024):

  • Genetically modified moss (Physcomitrella patens) produces 24/7 current

  • 3D-printed nanocellulose conductors collect electrons from root systems

  • Self-repairing through plant growth

Performance highlights:
✅ 0.5 W/m² continuous output (doubles at 35°C)
✅ CO₂ negative: -800g/kWh emissions
✅ 100% biodegradable components

Singapore’s "Forest Grid" pilot (2025):

  • 4-hectare mangrove installation

  • Powers 300 homes via tidal-assisted growth

  • $0.03/kWh levelized cost
