Emrod, an Auckland based company specialising in long range wireless energy transfer demonstrated on 27 September its technology for Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) applications in a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), Airbus and Technocarbon.
ESA and Airbus believe that commercial Space-Based Solar Power, using satellites to capture solar energy in space, where it is plentiful 24/7, and beaming it wirelessly to the ground, could support the transition to sustainable energy and meet Europe’s goals for Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Today’s demonstration takes us closer to our goal of commercializing long-range power transmission. I expect to soon announce details of our next terrestrial use case demonstration and we continue to develop plans for in-orbit testing of space-based infrastructure.
