Based in Sussex, Biaco is a pioneering green tech start-up developing breakthrough solutions in zero carbon energy. At the heart of their innovation is a revolutionary energy cell that creates high grade thermal heat by exciting water molecules in plasma – a process that could transform how we heat our buildings.

Biaco is challenging the limitations of traditional systems like heat pumps and hydrogen, which can be costly to generate. Their alternative is a compact, clean, and efficient heating system with the potential to deliver real-world decarbonisation at scale.

The innovation: Biaco’s Zero Carbon Energy Cell

Biaco’s core technology uses the impurities in water to produce a powerful exothermic reaction, generating high grade steam in a fraction of a second. With an impressive energy return – 1kW of input energy produces up to 4kW of heat output – the system is efficient, clean, and carbon negative.

This innovation has the potential to power everything from home heating and hot water to cooling systems and data centres – all with minimal environmental impact and significantly lower running costs.

Biaco has a bold vision to decarbonise heating for all building types in all weather conditions, marking a change in clean tech innovation. It was fascinating to hear about their solution at Futurebuild, and we’re excited to seeing how this breakthrough progresses from prototype to real world application.
