Wastewater Fuels has rebranded as Byohm, a focused step forward in how the company defines its technology, its mission, and its ambitions.
The new name is rooted in the science that powers the business. Byohm draws from two sources: the optimal biome created for the billions of microorganisms at work within Byohm's wastewater systems which break down organics, nutrients, fats, oils, and solids; whilst energy capture is represented through Ohm's Law, the foundational principle governing the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical systems.
Together, they capture exactly what Byohm does - bio-electrochemical technology that sits at the intersection of biology, electrochemistry, and energy innovation.
The rebrand also marks a shift in how the company positions itself. Where the previous name centred on process, Byohm centres on purpose: transforming wastewater treatment plants from costly liabilities into power-generating assets. This purpose speaks directly to some of the most pressing challenges of our time - in water, energy, and sustainability.
The company's technology uses microbial electrolysis cells to treat wastewater to river-release standards while producing hydrogen and bio-methane as by-products - generating more energy than the treatment process consumes. It's a change at the microscopic level that promises a colossal difference to energy security and global wastewater treatment.
