Description of Invention

Malaysia’s streetlights consume over 500 GWh annually, costing over RM300 million and contributing to carbon emissions. Urbanization has also reduced greenery, worsening pollution, heat, and biodiversity loss. Bio 3 Glow offers a sustainable solution: genetically modified bioluminescent trees inspired by fireflies and glowing sea organisms. These trees naturally illuminate streets at night without electricity, reduce CO₂, and restore urban greenery. By combining lighting with environmental benefits, Bio 3 Glow transforms cities into energy-free, eco-friendly spaces that support biodiversity and public well-being—redefining how we light our cities while healing the environment.
