Green energy for the food industry on its way!

A big congratulations to the ‘Pipeline Organics’ from Nottingham University for developing a next generation clean energy fuel cell for food and drink manufacturers, that promises to generate more electricity per unit volume than traditional biofuel cell (BFCs).  The device harnesses liquid organic waste to generate electricity that is fed directly into on-site equipment.   According to the World Economic Forum, food systems account for up to one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions so now more than ever, we need new technologies such as the clean energy biofuel cell from Pipeline Organics  to help us transition food systems to a net-zero, nature-positive infrastructure.

 

The ‘world’s first’ biofuel cell (BFC) capable of generating clean energy at an industrial scale could be available to food and drink manufacturers within the next two years, thanks to additional funding from Innovate UK.
