BeFC SAS, the CNRS spin-off headquartered in Grenoble, France has been named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its biofuel cell powered Active Sensor Tag.

BeFC produces paper biofuel cells as an ecofriendly and sustainable energy solution for low-power electronics.

The company’s new Active Sensor Tag collects data from a range of sensors (temperature, humidity, light, pressure and 6-axis accelerometer) which is processed and stored on local memory. A selection of wireless protocols (NFC, UHF RFID, BLE, Sigfox and LoRaWAN) then provide wireless data recovery. The solution offers a digital connected solution, with minimal environmental impact, for wearable, medical, IoT; and Industry 4.0 applications.
