Profile
Trophos Energy, Inc. was founded in 2008 to research, develop and commercialize low cost, reliable remote energy harvesting systems based on Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. MFCs draw their energy from the natural metabolism of indigenous microbes, offering years of reliable, maintenance-free operation in organic-rich environments. Trophos' power management systems operate indefinitely when placed in soil, marine sediment or wastewater where solar, battery or other power sources may be technically or cost prohibitive.
Trophos leverages its proprietary technology to deliver power to wireless communication and sensor networks, offering new opportunities for military, water utility and industrial monitoring applications. Other applications include wastewater treatment and bio-remediation.

Real Time Locating and Wireless Sensor Networks - Rapid Advances
In the past, too much use of RFID has involved sensing items and conveyances only when they pass very near to the occasional interrogator. Heroic assumptions are then made about what happened in between. Was it destroyed, perhaps by overheating? Is it still there? Is it intact?18 Feb 2010
Energy harvesting in the dirt
Trophos Energy is successfully harvesting energy from soil, sediment and wastewater and, with the use of innovative power management electronics, is converting dirt into a useful source of clean reliable power.
