Boom Environmental Program is launching a new project: the BOOM LAB. The first project is focused on the realm of Energy.

Unconstrained by traditional disciplines, BOOM LAB engineers, artists, permaculturists and scientists work freestyle in developing the sustainable gatherings of the future.

The BOOM LAB applies a research approach to envision the impact of green technologies on festival contexts - technologies that promise to transform our notion of how human gatherings can be sustainable.

The first BOOM LAB project is focusing on the realm of Energy. We are developing independent solutions based on renewable sources such as sun and hydrogen.

Conventional fuel sources have created many environmental problems, such as global warming, destruction of habitats and the loss of natural resources.

Photovoltaic systems do not pose these environmental consequences. The majority of PV systems use silicon as their components. The silicon cells manufactured from one ton of sand can produce as much electricity as burning 500,00 tons of coal.

BOOM LAB engineers are developing 5 solar stations.

We are building 3 small stations from 6 solar panels of 80 watts each. They can be used for standard lighting, computers and small devices in areas such as main gates and the production offices at Ambient Paradise or Sacred Fire. We will generate 2.4 kilowatts/hour per day.

The 4th solar station being produced at BOOM LAB can output 3.2 kilowatts /hour a day from solar energy

BOOM LAB is developing a bigger station alone that is planned to be used at logistics management, production office and workshops. Two mobile trucks that are fitted out with 12 panels each and follow the tilt of the sun producing 13 kilowatts/hour per day.

BOOM LAB is also developing the use of hydrogen for waste vegetable oil generators. 

Typical gasoline powered cars only use about 20% of the fuel to power the car. With hydrogen fuel cell cars, around 40-60% of the fuel is used to power the electric motor. The combustion is not only faster but you are also polluting less.

Hydrogen is a very clean fuel that produces minimal emissions when combusted directly or in combination with hydrocarbon fuels.

BOOM LAB is our new commitment to sustainable gatherings. By respecting the Sacred Earth we are developing technologies that nurture independence and invent new possibilities for festivals and their communities.
