Promotor

Bioo is a Spanish biotechnology company that develops technologies to make urban green spaces more efficient. Its systems are installed under gardens, parks, and rooftops, where they generate electricity from the soil, reduce water usage, and help cool the surrounding environment.

This campaign seeks to finance the implementation of Bioo’s current projects with signed clients in Europe, Asia, and America. The capital raised will work as an advance payment on a confirmed 8 million euro equity round, with 5,5 million euro expected to be disbursed by the end of September 2025.

While this campaign addresses short-term working capital needs, the broader equity round is focused on growth. The investment will support increased production capacity, strengthen the sales and marketing team, and continue developing Bioo’s core technologies. Part of the R&D efforts are co-funded by European Union innovation programmes and aim to improve the performance and scalability of the company’s biological systems.

Bioo’s technologies use natural biological processes to generate electricity and manage water in green spaces. Microorganisms in the soil break down organic matter, releasing electrons that are captured to produce energy. In some systems, substrates also help generate water by releasing hydrogen, which combines with oxygen in the air.

By transforming how cities interact with nature, Bioo aims to help shape a more resilient and regenerative urban future.


¿Cuál es el impacto?

  • Promotion of innovation in urban landscapes: Bioo is a biotechnology company focused in developing cutting edge green energy solutions - like Microbial fuel cells - and rethinking how cityscapes are designed with the goal of creating urban spaces that are fully energy sufficient. Bioo’s integrated systems deliver a range of environmental benefits, including:
    • Clean, renewable energy generation
    • Significant CO₂ reduction
    • Lower irrigation costs
    • Improved temperature regulation in urban areas

With the support of this working capital financing, Bioo plans to install 461.000 BIOO Panels (Biological battery using MFC) across 115.000 m² in upcoming projects. In a year span, these projects are expected to generate over 8,760 kWh of green electricity, reduce 926 tonnes of CO₂, and save up to 126 million liters of water.

  • Improving renewable energy production: One of the company’s products, the BIOO Panel, is a new Microbial fuel cells (MFCs)  concept. This unique power source is intended to provide sustainable energy for LED lighting in parks and gardens. MFCs are non-combustive devices providing electrical energy using microorganisms as biocatalysts and organic materials as substrate – or food for the microorganisms.  As these living microbes metabolize the substrate, chemical energy is converted into useable electrical energy. In a 49 m² area (with four BIOO Panels per square meter), this system can generate 15 Wh/day and store more than 16kg of CO2.
  • Reduction and more efficient use of water resources: The landscapes designed by Bioo can achieve water savings of up to 48%. This is due to the:
    • Water generating capacity of the Microbial fuel cells,
    • Efficiency of the drip irrigation system,
    • And finally the rain water storage capacity of the Bioo panel.
  • Improving global resources use efficiency in consumption and production: A comprehensive life-cycle assessment of the BIOO Panel—which accounts for environmental impact at every stage of its implementation—shows that the system reaches carbon neutrality after 7 years of operation (with a forecasted working durability of 80 years). One of the biggest contributing factors to the low carbon footprint of the Bioo panel is the fact that all the polymeric materials involved in the production of the system are from recycled material, implying a carbon-neutral production of the case and its internal components.
  • Contribution to the decarbonisation of urban spaces, avoiding CO2 emissions: Bioo’s solutions help lower the carbon footprint of urban environments through three key mechanisms:
    • CO₂ absorption by vegetation integrated into the landscape,
    • Carbon capture and storage in materials such as graphite, derived from atmospheric CO₂,
    • Avoided emissions by replacing conventional fossil fuels with renewable energy generated on-site.

About
ARKYNE TCHNOLOGIES SL

Bioo, cuya entidad jurídica es ARKYNE TCHNOLOGIES SL, es una empresa española de biotecnología con sede en Barcelona, fundada en 2015 por Pablo Vidarte, un emprendedor reconocido en la lista “30 Under 30” de Forbes. Fundó la empresa con la misión de transformar el funcionamiento de las ciudades y los entornos agrícolas mediante la integración de sistemas vivos en el entorno construido.

Bioo desarrolla tecnologías que integran procesos biológicos en infraestructuras urbanas y agrícolas, convirtiendo los espacios verdes en sistemas activos que generan electricidad, reducen el uso de agua, disminuyen la temperatura y absorben CO₂.


El producto principal de la empresa es el Bioo Panel, una batería biológica que produce electricidad a partir del suelo. Funciona capturando los electrones liberados por los microorganismos al descomponer materia orgánica, convirtiéndolos en energía utilizable. Además de generar electricidad, los paneles ayudan a reducir las necesidades de riego, regular la temperatura a nivel de raíz y favorecer la absorción de carbono.

La empresa también ha desarrollado otras tecnologías, como sistemas bioluminiscentes que emiten luz a través de plantas vivas, interruptores biológicos activados por el tacto y sistemas de árboles líquidos diseñados para entornos urbanos. Estas soluciones suelen instalarse en parques, azoteas, senderos y otras infraestructuras verdes.

Las tecnologías de Bioo se han implementado en proyectos en Europa, Asia y Oriente Medio, incluyendo desarrollos a gran escala como NEOM en Arabia Saudí. La empresa ha recibido reconocimiento internacional por su trabajo, incluyendo premios del Parlamento Europeo y de Google.

Bioo cuenta con 4 patentes, lo que demuestra su innovación propia y su ventaja competitiva protegida:

  • Dispositivo y método para generar energía eléctrica – utiliza materia orgánica y microorganismos para producir un flujo estable de electrones mediante un proceso bioelectroquímico.
  • Módulo de detección, sistemas de interfaz y método para detectar interacciones de un usuario con una planta viva y comunicar señales de control – identifica variaciones de capacitancia en una planta mediante electrodos, sensores capacitivos y una unidad de control que procesa los datos de voltaje, los compara con un umbral ajustable mediante un potenciómetro accesible al usuario y envía señales de control a dispositivos externos cuando se supera dicho umbral.
  • Dispositivo para producir energía y su uso – nuevo dispositivo subterráneo de doble compartimento que mejora la estabilidad energética, la durabilidad y la protección frente a factores ambientales y biológicos.
  • Lámpara con interruptor orgánico – una lámpara integrada en una maceta con una planta viva, donde tocar la planta actúa como un interruptor orgánico que activa una unidad de control conectada a un electrodo conductor y un emisor de luz, encendiendo o apagando la luz, todo dentro de una estructura oculta para una solución de iluminación sencilla, económica y ecológica.
