A new benchmark for Organic waste and wastewater to energy
BYOHM optimises microbial activity, releasing the chemical energy in wastewater and organic waste, generating up to 10x more energy than our technology consumes.
Wastewater treatment is consuming a lot of energy.
It should be creating energy.
Current systems are expensive, power-intensive, and poorly equipped to capture the chemical energy already present in wastewater.
44%
Of wastewater globally is untreated and global population to increase by 2bn+.
40%
Amount global freshwater demand is set to outstrip supply in this decade.
2-3%
Of the UK National Grid used for wastewater treatment.
4TWh
Potential electrical energy in UK sewage treatment annually.
98%
Organic waste that could be treated by Anaerobic Digestion (AD) to recover biogas.
Where others see waste, we see energy.
Today’s systems leave energy on the table. We extract hydrogen and biomethane as we treat.
BYOHM® turn energy cost to energy asset.
Within a controlled foam habitat, microbes thrive.
Together, they act as a living factory - transforming waste into energy.
The result is a scalable bioelectrochemical system with ultra-low resistance and high energy recovery.
Our catalyst
10x
Our propriatary technology forms the controlled habitat. The microbes form the engine. Together, they create a scalable bio-electrochemical system with ultra-low resistance and high energy recovery.
Nature’s electrical engineers
Electrogenic microbes consume organic waste and release electrons as part of their metabolism. They form conductive networks - extending nanoscale “wires” that enable direct electron transfer between cells and to surfaces - driving efficient energy recovery and biomethane production.
Innovation is built into the way we work.
With 600+ prototypes tested and the ability to design, build, and install a new test in under 48 hours, the BYOHM® team are an R&D engine that move fast, learn fast, and have turned bioelectrochemical science into scalable infrastructure in under 4 years.
