BioLite

Biolite dangler

BioLite provides reliable and affordable renewable energy access to those who live beyond the grid, whether by choice or by circumstance. They design and manufacture user-centric devices and appliances across cooking, charging, and lighting that enable their customers to live safe, productive, and connected lives.


Coming this September is Backup By BioLite, an automatic backup energy system that provides 30-60 hours of power to critical devices in the event of a power outage and requires no contractors or electricians. The Climate Science Fair is the public’s first-ever chance to see Backup in person.

Making renewable energy and energy resilience accessible to a wider population and enabling a bright future for everyone. 

  • Why this matters

    With extreme weather events and strains on the grid making outages more common, we need a realistic way to make our families and homes more resilient. Existing installed energy backup options leave large swaths of the population out of the conversation due to high costs and daunting timelines. Backup by BioLite is an approachable step for owners and renters alike to automatically protect critical appliances and daily routines with an easy, self-installed solution you plug right into a wall outlet — all while practically disappearing in the room.

  • What you can do

    Join their crowdfunding effort! Backup by BioLite is launching on Kickstarter, a unique opportunity to join the project early and access early supporter pricing. Looking for other ways to get involved? BioLite’s work extends beyond the home into the great outdoors: every purchase from their shop helps an individual gain access to safe energy all over the world.
