UK biotechnology startup EcoNomad Solutions has secured €466,000 (£400k) in funding to develop a renewable energy solution for small livestock farms. The investment, comprising €268,000 (£230k) from the British Design Fund (BDF) and an Innovate UK grant, aims to help farms reduce methane emissions and lower energy and fertiliser costs.
EcoNomad's flagship product, BioNomad, transforms livestock waste into bioenergy and biofertiliser. Founder Dr. Ilan Adler explains that small farms often have limited access to renewable energy solutions, and the BioNomad is designed to address this gap, making the technology affordable and practical for even the smallest farms.
The funding boost comes amid a wave of European investment in agricultural technologies aimed at reducing environmental impact and improving profitability. Other recent rounds include €1.7 million for Volta Greentech in Sweden, €1.25 million for Proba in Amsterdam, and €8 million for Berlin's Seqana. Damon Bonser, CEO of the BDF, commends EcoNomad for addressing a significant environmental and economic challenge with a scalable solution.
