Comparative Analysis on Bioelectricity Generation From Cow Dung, Vegetable and Fishery Waste Using Laboratory Designed Microbial Fuel Cell

Electrical energy demand in India has increasing, that makes there are researches about innovative technologies that more effective, efficient, and green environment. Environmentally friendly and sustainable energy production is coming to the forefront of both research and world issues. Water and wastewater treatment are also a top priority in the developing global community. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an alternative energy technology that has the capacity to simultaneously treat wastewater. This is focused because it is easy to operate, economic, stable and effective in use. In a country like India where tons of waste is generated daily can be used as such for this purpose without any modification or with little modification. The report comprises introduction to MFC, its materials used for construction and different designs which can helps to build MFC. This work explores the feasibility of replacing or supplementing methanogenesis with the emerging technology of microbial fuel cell (MFC). The research focused on the utilization of cow dung, fishery and vegetable waste that produce liquid and solid waste in large quantities which potentially contaminate the environment. One way to utilize waste from cow dung, fishery and vegetable could be done with MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell).
