BES take advantage of microbial capacities for the catalysis of electrochemical reactions. These systems have recently emerged as a promising technology for energy recovery and for providing more valuable products, such as hydrogen, ethanol and other organic molecules. In the context of post-oil and sustainable civilizations, BES appear as a promising alternative for treating different types of wastewaters and simultaneously fit within the energy-positive biorefinery perspectives.

Due to the prospective importance of BES and my personal involvement with the subject, I decided to dedicate website to give an overview on their fundamentals, state of the art and community interaction. This project is just starting and will take sometime until it is fully functional; for the moment I expect it serves as an introductory platform for students and early-stage researchers.
