Ligna Energy Unveils Cutting-Edge Energy Solutions at Embedded World 2026

Ligna Energy, a pioneer in ultra-thin supercapacitors for wireless electronics, has confirmed its participation at Embedded World 2026, scheduled to take place in Nuremberg, Germany. The company will showcase a range of innovative energy solutions that aim to revolutionize the design and functionality of connected devices, particularly focusing on indoor sensors that operate without the need for primary batteries.

Set to occupy Hall 2, Booth 2-230, Ligna Energy will demonstrate its partnership with ecosystem collaborators who specialize in various components essential for developing Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The collaboration will cover end-to-end solutions, including sensing technologies, wireless communication, power management, and energy harvesting methods.

The exhibit emphasizes significant themes, including transitioning from smart cards to smart buildings, embracing design-for-scale principles, and implementing discreet sensors that align with sustainable practices. Ligna Energy challenges the traditional norms by questioning why indoor sensors can’t adopt the refined design principles observed in smart cards. John Söderström, Marketing Director at Ligna Energy, noted that electronics are increasingly expected to be thinner and more energy-efficient, addressing the visual and functional concerns in smart building applications.

Innovations in Energy Storage and Sensing

At the forefront of Ligna’s display is Gwen, an advanced battery-free indoor climate sensor reference design. This innovative product exemplifies the application of smart card-style designs in indoor IoT sensors, emphasizing thinness, energy efficiency, material reduction, and scalability. Gwen captures energy from the environment, utilizing Ligna Energy's S-Power 2S supercapacitor to store energy and monitor temperature and humidity. The sensor transmits data using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), completely eliminating the need for batteries. This breakthrough allows for maintenance-free operation and expands the potential for discreet placements within modern architectural designs.

During the event, Ligna will also share insights gained from its demonstrator projects, emphasizing the role of ultra-thin energy storage and minimal material usage in facilitating new form factors for indoor sensing and asset tracking. Unlike conventional approaches, Ligna aims to provide adaptable solutions that Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other solution providers can integrate into their unique designs, rather than adopting a rigid one-size-fits-all sensor framework.

Furthermore, Ligna Energy is committed to promoting long-term operational concepts for indoor sensing. By advocating for battery-free technologies, the company aims to simplify product experiences, reducing the logistical challenges associated with routine battery replacements and ultimately enhancing operational efficiencies. According to Söderström, “When you remove routine battery swaps, you unlock simpler operations and new possibilities for where sensors can live – including thin or discreet placements where bulky enclosures are a non-starter.” This shift not only simplifies the end-of-life handling of devices but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with battery disposal.

Ligna Energy's sustainability initiatives are further underscored by its extensive lifecycle assessments and commitment to product transparency. The company has published Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data for its S-Power supercapacitors, reporting an impressive carbon footprint of just 12g CO₂e per unit. The EPD is verified by third-party evaluations to ensure standardized impact reporting for OEMs.
