In the Sainsbury´s supermarket of Gloucester they have a novelty in green retailing. The clients generate energy for the supermarket, driving over a kinetical plate installed at the parking, the supermarket will receive energy. The movements are caught and transformed into energy, which the supermarket uses in different applications.
This supermarket already works with sun and wind energy. With this new application the supermarket thinks to save 30kW energy per hour, comparable with the energy consumption of all cooling and freezers in the supermarket.
