BugEra
BugEra Overview
BugEra is a cutting-edge biotech startup focused on sustainable biological production, leveraging the harmless insect Black Soldier Fly's potential to upcycle organic waste into protein, oil, and fertilizer. Through advanced genetic engineering, we develop a patent-pending Modified Black Soldier Fly (M-BSF) Platform, unlocking new markets and revenue streams within BSF insect farming.
The first product/strain named BSFx2 unlocks the economic barriers of BSF farming as a much-needed, most sustainable novel lipid for biofuel (Biodiesel, Renewable Diesel, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel) while increasing the upcycle of environmentally hazardous organic waste. BugEra is backed by a USA-based strategic investor - a global leader in biofuel production, two international VCs, supported by the Israeli Innovation Authority, and originating from Ben-Gurion University's Life Sciences Department. BugEra is poised to revolutionize waste management, enable profitably and the most sustainable novel lipids to meet growing biofuel demand and expand circular economy principles. BugEra takes BSF farming to the next level advancing bioeconomy, biomanufacturing, and a carbon-negative future.
BugEra Climate Tech relevance
Harnessing the power of BSF, nature's best decomposers, BugEra introduces novel biomanufacturing to significantly reduce GHG emissions, with three key climate benefits: Waste Management: BSF excels at transforming any organic waste, including manure (which has very limited recycling applications), into valuable products Biofuel Advantages: Biofuel (Biodiesel, Renewable Diesel, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel) may reduce GHG emissions by 20-80% compared to standard liquid fuels. However, the expansion of biofuel is constrained by the availability of crop oils because these oils are used for feed and food and are not sustainable. Sustainable Oil Alternative for Biofuel: BSF oil has 80% lower carbon footprint than crop oil used for biofuel. In terms of land use and water consumption, BSF oil is 254 times more efficient per acre and saves 99% of water compared to crop oil.
