Microbial fuel cell uses waste to generate electricity

(15/01/2008)

Researchers at the Biodesign Institute are using bacteria as a viable option to make electricity. In a new study, Andrew Kato Marcus and colleagues César Torres and Bruce Rittmann have gained critical insights that may lead to commercialization of a promising microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology. “We can use any kind of waste, such as sewage or pig manure, and the microbial fuel cell will generate electrical energy,” said Marcus, a Civil and E...
