4-in-1 plant can produce electricity, water, cooling, heat
Singapore-based researchers have developed a plant for tropical climates that can produce key essentials like electricity, water, air-conditioning, and heat, reducing CO2 emission by 30%. The 4-in-1 plant uses natural gas to produce electricity, while the waste heat is recycled to produce hot water and power the chillers, which can help in air-cooling. It can also purify rainwater for drinking.
