British startup Bactery has developed a battery that harnesses naturally occurring soil bacteria to produce a continuous flow of electricity. While each unit generates only a small amount of power, linking multiple batteries together can create a more substantial energy output.

Founder and CEO Jakub Dziegielowski says the technology is designed to work alongside renewable energy sources such as solar power, providing a steady source of electricity even during periods when sunlight is unavailable.

 

British startup Bactery says its battery, powered by bacteria, uses nature’s microbes to generate an unending trickle of power—and by stringing the prototypes together they can generate a stream. Bactery founder and CEO Jakub Dziegielowski says the device complements standard renewable systems like solar, especially because it draws power even when the sun isn’t shining.
