Esther Wamaitha
CSTF
As an individual with an electrical engineering background, I am using my expertise to increase sustainable power generation by creating a black water battery prototype which aims to make buildings green as a step to achieve our 2030 climate goals and propel us to reach net-zero targets. I am also currently designing a Vehicle-to-Grid system that aims to reduce stress on the power system and prevent use of fossil fuels which emit carbon dioxide to the environment.
