To this day, CPOs need up to 3 years to source power from the grid, which is very costly. The deployment of fast charging points is too long and tedious, yet huge amounts of clean electricity are needed in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>WattAnyWhere has engineered a fuel cell system that delivers bioenergy, electricity produced from biomass. Its generator is a clean electricity generator with a power of 300 kW intended to supply fast-charging stations for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>A group of global investors from Switzerland, France, Norway, the Netherlands and the United States have invested\u00a0CHF 1.3 million in WattAnyWhere. The roundtable includes industrial partners, grants, loans and friends and family.<\/p>\n<h4>Converting renewable ethanol into electricity in an economical and safe manner<\/h4>\n<p>After receiving a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ggba.swiss\/en\/energypolis-start-up-wattanywhere-raises-chf-100000-for-its-biomass-to-electricity-converter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHF 100&#8217;000 loan from FIT in 2022<\/a>,\u00a0the new funds will be used to finalize the \u201cProof Of Concept\u201d, accelerate the design of the fuel cell system, and expand marketing and initial business development activities.
