Have you ever thought that one could make soil-rechargeable batteries that use the bacteria in the soil to recharge themselves and provide affordable and sustainable energy to farms?
Pictorial representation of how a bacteria-powered battery functions
These 24/7 bateria-powered batteries build on ‘soil microbial fuel cells’ (SMFCs), which capture energy from natural chemical reactions that occur in soil-based microorganisms. They use the electrons produced by the bacteria in the soil to generate electricity that can be provided to farms for agricuture purposes.
These SMFCs were developed by a research team in 2019 and were tested on a water filtration system in Brazil. Dr Jakub Dziegielowski was a scientist from the team of researchers working on the SMFCs and holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering.
Now working as the Co-Founder & CEO at Bactery, he has now decided to go one step further to find ways to generate electricity tailored to the biological processes in the soil. This can be a wonderful contribution into the green energy transition. He
The people at Bactery hope to find a technology that will accelerate the shift towards data-driven agriculture and help farmers to increase yields and conserve resources without having to install expensive and hard-to-maintain energy infrastructure.
