It might be easy to take electricity for granted when it\u2019s available in our homes, schools and hospitals. However, this isn\u2019t the reality for everyone. In some areas there isn\u2019t a lot of electricity available either because it\u2019s too remote or because it\u2019s too expensive. The same areas of low electricity and high poverty are also likely to be developing countries which are at higher risk of climate change effects, for example flooding, which can wipe out what little access to electricity they do have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what\u2019s the solution? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salt + Water = Light! Ok it might not be that simple, otherwise saltwater lakes would be glowing all day every day. Read on to see how simple chemistry could provide valuable light sources for those who need it most. Could saltwater lamps be a safer alternative to those that burn kerosine or paraffin for light, without risking people\u2019s health? With help from OURFUTURE.ENERGY learn how electrochemistry, generating electricity from chemical reactions, can be used to bring light to people\u2019s lives and the important parts needed to create a working circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
