Uk startup Bactery creates sustainable power from bacterial batteries – ‘Bacteries’ – that harvest electricity from soil
University of Bath startup creates sustainable power from bacterial batteries – ‘Bacteries’ – that harvest electricity from soil
However, current ‘on-farm’ power delivery methods, such as obstructive cabling, single-use chemical batteries, and weather-dependent solar panels largely restrict deployment of Agri-data solutions. The prototype was tested in Icapuí, a fishing village in a remote semi-arid part of North-East Brazil, where the main source of drinking water is rainwater and access to a reliable power network is scarce. Dr Ben Metcalfe added: “This is a powerful illustration of how our Bactery technology could be used, but this is just the first application of what we believe is a great method of generating clean energy in an innovative, sustainable way.”
