Eco Factor: World’s tallest skyscraper designed for Abu Dhabi will rely on renewable energy for power.
After using the latest in solar technology to power your gadgets and your homes, designers are envisioning tall structures that could use the future of solar technology for net-zero energy credentials. Tommy Landau thinks he can give the world its tallest skyscraper, a whopping 224-story-tall tower, which will rely on renewable energy for power.
Designed to be constructed in Abu Dhabi, the tower will make use of the future of renewable and solar technology that includes the development of nanotechnology, which will allow manufacturers to create solar cells in glass curtain walls of buildings, to generate more power than the tower actually needs. If built, at a cost of about $3.5 billion, the project will provide over 11 million square-feet of area for offices, shops, hotels or condominiums.
