At BeFC, we’re pioneering the future of energy for microelectronic IoT applications, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional battery technologies. Our innovative biofuel cell, using materials from Avery Dennison, has emerged as a winner in the Pre-Commercialized Renewables category for its ability to replace non-disposable coin and button cell batteries with an eco-friendly, compostable, and/or recyclable energy solution.
This cutting-edge battery is crafted from a combination of paper, carbon, and enzymes, allowing it to convert sugars and oxygen into electricity. Unlike conventional batteries, which rely on rare-earth materials and toxic electrolytes, our solution uses organic, widely available alternatives, significantly reducing environmental impact. Not only does this technology help in reducing e-waste, but it also helps in addressing the growing demand for sustainable energy sources.
The biofuel cell is designed to be thin, flexible, lightweight, and low-cost, making it an ideal solution for applications like smart consumer labels and other microelectronics. It resists water and grease, while still being permeable to oxygen, ensuring that the enzymes inside remain intact for a long operational life. This unique feature makes it both reliable and durable in real-world conditions.
Our biofuel cell opens up new opportunities without the environmental and disposal challenges traditionally associated with conventional batteries. By offering a sustainable, non-toxic alternative, BeFC is unlocking a greener future for the IoT industry and helping businesses move toward more eco-conscious solutions.
As we move forward, BeFC remains committed to driving innovation in renewable energy and sustainability, making technology smarter and more eco-friendly for a brighter, greener tomorrow.
