What is the BioCapsule® Project?
Arkeale designs and manufactures an innovative low-tech solution for biowaste recycling at urban scale, called the BioCapsule®. This project is all about improving energy autonomy and reducing costs with a revolutionary approach that transforms organic waste into renewable energy. The BioCapsule® is a compact, buried technology that recycles the biowaste of communities and large producers. Its design integrates seamlessly into urban environments, converting household and commercial food-waste into natural fertilizers and renewable energy using a biological reactor based on oxygen-free fermentation. It’s a decentralized and pollution-free management strategy that supports energy and agronomic autonomy, ensuring nearby infrastructures benefit from a hyperlocal recycling solution.
Main Benefit
The key benefits of the BioCapsule® are encapsulated in its ability to both produce energy and optimize waste valorization. A closer look at its impact reveals:
- Produce up to 500MWh of renewable energy at a stable, guaranteed price
- Valorize up to 12 tons of organic waste per week, reducing waste management costs
- Substitute fossil energy consumption, saving money while helping decarbonize activities
Renewable Energy and Organic Waste Valorization
The project is a dynamic tool for communities and industries alike. It offers the ideal solution for those who wish to improve energy autonomy and optimize the valorization of organic waste. Whether the focus is on powering equipment with renewable energy at a stable price or reducing organic waste collection and treatment expenses, the BioCapsule® stands out as the ideal choice. In fact, it’s a conversation piece for decision-makers looking for efficient, local recycling management and energy production. For energy autonomy, it is simply the shortest path to obtaining renewable energy that is both affordable and environmentally friendly.
Decentralized and Pollution-free Food-waste Management
At its core, the BioCapsule® technology is driven by an innovative biological reactor that embraces the natural process of oxygen-free fermentation. This system not only produces renewable energy and natural fertilizers but also underpins a decentralized management model for urban biowaste. The compact design ensures smooth installation, enabling large flows of household and commercial food-waste to be processed right where they are generated. This local recycling management approach minimizes the need for extensive waste transport, reducing overall environmental impact and supporting a cleaner urban ecosystem… a true lifestyle change in waste management.
Urban Integration and the Low-tech Solution
One of the standout features of this project is its seamless urban integration. The BioCapsule® is designed with urban environments in mind, making it possible to install the system as close to the point of waste generation as possible. This innovative low-tech solution is as effective as it is compact, allowing for efficient handling of large volumes of biowaste while occupying minimal space. The project represents a new step forward in sustainable urban planning, merging technological innovation with practical design to meet the challenges of modern cities.
