Bionua is a verifiable Irish agritech/climate-tech startup (founded ~2023, distinct from a dissolved 2015 entity) specializing in biodiversity credits and soil monitoring sensors. Search results confirm a significant pilot deal with Coffeeangel and Dunsany Estate (2024), and recent press coverage (late 2025) highlighting their 'bury-and-forget' soil sensors. However, the project submission contains substantial inaccuracies (claiming 'most people' have used it, 'everyone' as audience) and lazily reuses the 2015 launch date of a defunct predecessor. While the real-world utility and market timing for biodiversity credits are excellent, the project is still in a very early, pre-scale stage with minimal verifiable traction compared to the submission's hyperbolic claims.

Description
Bionua specializes in developing systems to monetize Climate Farming, leveraging satellite technology, multispectral imaging, and ground-based sensors to accurately measure carbon sequestration, storage, and biodiversity gains at our sites. This comprehensive approach enables the generation of science-backed, high-integrity Biodiversity Credits, available for corporates seeking to demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our projects focus entirely on nature, transitioning lands from intensive agriculture to permanent rewilding. This shift not only removes significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere but also exponentially enhances biodiversity. Positioned in Ireland, Bionua is committed to advancing in this sector alongside other Irish companies.
