About Us
PRESUMED INACTIVE
Using state-of-the-art genetic technologies, BugEra develops enhanced performance customized novel Black Soldier Fly (BSF) strains to maximize the business and sustainable potential of the BSF industry. BugEra enables the creation of novel value chains, applications, and markets based on innovative circular economy principles.
In less than two years, BugEra has developed the Molecular BSF Platform (M-BSF Platform), a state-of-the-art system for rapid and efficient genetic editing and genetic modifications of BSF strains. This platform enables BugEra to develop customized BSF strains with enhanced traits, meeting current and future industry needs to expand the BSF industry by creating novel value chains.
Relevant Challenges
Alternative Fuels
Development of low-carbon alternative fuels and design of highly efficient, compatible engines and auxiliary components. Facilitation of refueling infrastructure and fuel distribution.
Waste Management
Innovations in sorting, recycling and recovery processes and infrastructure for optimal conversion and utilization of waste (biomass and inert materials) for the production of new raw materials.
Process Innovation
Innovations that reduce the energy intensity of production and conditioning processes such as separation, filtration, drying, chemical and plasma synthesis. Material substitution and additive manufacturing.
Nutritional Profile
Enhancing nutritional profile of alternative proteins, also for animal and aquaculture feeds.
Livestock and Aquaculture
Improving livestock food digestibility and feed conversion ratios, advances in animal health monitoring and illness prevention, advances in sustainable land-based aquaculture.
Reduce Land Footprint
Reducing land footprint by improving crop yields, increasing nutritional content, and implementing novel farming systems such as vertical, urban and aquaponic farming as well as insect and algae farms.
Reduce Emissions
Reducing GHG emissions from equipment, crops, and livestock.
Food Waste
Reducing food waste at the consumption stage by, for example, shelf-life extension technologies and food waste analytics, upcycling off-grade products and by products and redistribution of surplus food.
