OUR
TECHNOLOGY
We've made a giant leap in wastewater treatment!
For decades scientists have known that microbes can generate electricity, but repeated attempts to harness this potential for treating large volumes of wastewater have failed.These electrogenic microbes are super heroes. They can extend nano wires from their bodies, connecting to each other and conductive surfaces.

At WastewaterFuels
We give electrogenic microbes a home to thrive! Millions of tiny pores and surfaces where beneficial microbes can settle, grow, and form communities that excel at eating waste in water. Our foam is the perfect neighbourhood designed just for them.
The advantages
01
A very large surface area for treatment, reducing your capital footprint.
02
A flow-through design providing easy access to food (waste) for the microbes.
03
A conductive surface that allows us to plug countless electrogenic microbes into our electrical “grid”.
How it Works?
Inside the Super Foam, a maze of tiny pores and surfaces lets electrogenic microbes anchor quickly and build stable communities. As they consume waste in water, they release electrons. Our metal - like conductive pathways gather those electrons, so you can:
Boost treatment performance by supporting dense, active biofilms
Generate electricity from microbial activity
Produce green hydrogen AND BIOMETHANE
We’ve spent years refining this material through hundreds of trials. The result is a soil - like biocompatibility that keeps microbes happy and high conductivity that keeps electrons moving.
Our scientists and partners keep improving the foam, so each batch is better than the last.
