Impact Pitches at CLIMAFIX Summit 2025 | JSP Enviro
At the CLIMAFIX Summit 2025 Impact Pitch session, Fidal from JSP Enviro presents a breakthrough microbial fuel-cell–based solution for industrial effluent treatment. Instead of relying on energy-intensive aeration, chemicals, and heavy infrastructure, JSP Enviro uses proprietary bacteria housed in modular “bio-battery” units that degrade organic pollutants while generating recoverable energy. Their technology reduces COD/BOD loads, cuts sludge by over 90%, lowers treatment costs, and significantly decreases carbon emissions - offering a scalable pathway for textile dyeing units and other industries struggling with high-load wastewater. A compelling example of circular-economy innovation accelerating sustainable water management in India.
