and sending information to powering LED or screens. Our biofuel cells have many applications, including medical, logistics, agriculture, and waste management. They can even function as smart labels, such as a glowing label on a bottle of champagne if desired. Still, the range of applications is somewhat limited now, as our battery lasts only two weeks. In the future, we aspire to extend the battery life to several months, which would broaden the spectrum of applications and allow us to replace coin cell batteries in many scenarios. One example I particularly like is digital pregnancy tests that feature a small screen to indicate how far along the pregnancy is. These single-use tests are used for a limited time and then discarded along with their lithium batteries, which is harmful to the environment. The same battery that has been thrown away could have been used for three or four years
more. Instead, our goal is to replace lithium batteries with a fully compostable solution that significantly reduces environmental impact,” he enlightens.
In an exciting development, BeFC has recently signed brand deals with a major medical device company and a logistics firm.“ Our deal in the logistics sector involves providing cold chain monitoring devices that measure temperature and humidity during vaccine transportation. It is essential to use our energy source rather than traditional options because many airlines are increasingly restricting the amount of lithium authorized in their airplanes. Thus, our small, label-like devices offer a safer and convenient alternative, as they can stick to any parcel and record temperature throughout transportation. Our biofuel cells compete with coin cell in terms of size, given that they are as thin as paper.
