"We can install inside the city, outside the city," says Luc Eric Krief, CEO of a French startup called New World Wind. His company makes what's called the Aeroleaf, a tiny turbine that looks like a curled leaf. When the wind blows, it spins and generates energy that can go directly to a nearby building. This allows for flexibility in installation, enhancing urban energy generation directly from accessible sources.
The microturbines are installed in groups-either on the roof of a building or as part of what New World Wind calls a wind tree or wind bush. These sculptural installations mimic real trees and bushes, enhancing aesthetic appeal while providing functional energy solutions that can harmonize with urban and natural environments.
And unlike solar panels, which stop producing energy at night, Krief says Aeroleaf microturbines can produce electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This continuous energy production capability positions micro wind turbines as a reliable alternative for urban clean energy generation.
