What will you be financing?

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.

What is the impact?

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.
