Operating in the renewable energy and sustainable agribusiness sector, the company is an early-stage enterprise focused on developing bioenergy solutions and sustainable rural energy systems.

The business specialises in converting agricultural and organic waste into clean, affordable energy solutions for farms, rural communities, and small enterprises. Through the development and support of bioenergy systems such as

This technology uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) fitted with a camera to calibrate heliostats in large Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) or Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) tower systems. The UAV does not have a single fixed position and provides several advantages over traditional methods using...

The technology comprises an integrated passive acoustic monitoring system capable of long-term monitoring, capturing high-quality, distinctive sonar sounds from aquatic environments.

The acoustic monitoring system, incorporating a hydrophone, a micro-processing board and a mechanical release system...

The Novel Peri-Intubation Containment Chamber (PICC) encompasses the principles of containment and extraction of virulent particles. It is a transparent sealed chamber, and its access ports allow rapid assembly in emergency situations. It further comprises disposable single-use gloves and a torso...

This technology provides a software solution that facilitates the rapid detection of viral particles in any electron micrograph. It utilizes a neural network approach to enable automated virus recognition. It is based on a convolutional neural network/machine-learning based image analysis tool, that...

Removable containers placed into the appliance base are lit up and dispensed when selected by the mobile app. Automotive MOSFETS control pulsing solenoid actuators which dispense set volumes with each pulse using one-hot encoded input/output command protocol. Intentional design of the circuit and...

The process consists of two continuous stages carried out under inert, vacuum conditions.

In the first stage, cold feedstock is fed into a preheating vacuum oven for ex-situ desulphurization. It is heated to a controlled temperature for a set time to break sulphur–sulphur and sulphur–carbon bonds...

Fluorobiotech’s technology drastically decreases the amount of time spent recovering target proteins from producer cells. Reducing the extraction time from 1 hour’s hard labour with multiple steps to an effortless one-step process that can take less than 15 minutes. This allows for parallel...

The technology relates to a process for obtaining protein from Black Soldier Fly larvae (insects/worms). The process extracts protein from Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), separates the protein from undesired lipids and chitin and upgrades the protein to a consumer-acceptable grade, ultimately...

A method has been developed by which cannabinoids are extracted from a waste wax that is formed during conventional extraction of cannabinoids from Cannabis plants. During medicinal cannabinoid extraction process, cannabinoids are extracted from the plant material into an alcohol phase, which can be...
