World's First Carbon-Negative Bus Shelter Launches at Bangkok University
Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Swedish solar company Midsummer and Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok launched the world's first carbon-negative bus shelter, combining engineered-wood construction that locks carbon and ultralight thin-film solar panels generating power for lighting, fans, mobile charging, and digital traffic systems.
This is a prototype installation; scalability across Bangkok's thousands of bus stops would require further development and investment.
