Microbial fuel cell (MFC), recently, is considered as a promising alternative to traditional power sources as it can use microorganisms to transform chemical energy of organic compounds into electricity. In future, microbial production of electricity may become an important form of bioenergy because electricity extraction is possible through MFC using wide range soluble or nonsoluble complex organic wastes as a renewable biomass. In this study, single chamber MFC and double chambers MFCs were used to production and enrichment a microbial consortium for electricity generation from organic waste samples. Potential electrogenic bacteria were also isolated from anode, analyzed and evaluated. Most of them were Gram negative and fermentative organisms. Their electrogenic role was promising generating upto 5.05 volts and 4.72 mA when combined five) double chambers in series connection. Isolation of these bacteria and employing these for generation of electricity may bring potential power sector endeavor in future. Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 35 Number 1 June 2018, pp 23-26

Renewable energy plays an important role in future energy planning. Due to the changes in environment, shortage of fossil fuel, increase in carbon foot printing and the rising demand of sustainable energy generation there is a need of new energy generation resources and research. Hence, the main aim of proposed research is to develop microbial fuel cell for clean energy generation. There is a need of alternative energy sources with less cost to meet the future energy demands. Also, the waste management is a bigger issue around the globe. As Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are less expensive and are with zero carbon foot printing it is considered as an emerging clean and alternative mean of energy generation. Also, the waste management is becoming important issue. To utilize waste material for energy generation is possible with bacteria present in waste material. The proposed research tested microbial fuel cell for household waste with use of carbon cloth electrodes. This paper presents the microbial fuel cell processes for different types of waste materials and pilot project execution is successful in terms of energy generation. The aim of the development of duel chamber microbial fuel cell is to contribute to the household electrification at pilot project level and further to that analyze the feasibility for future enhancements. The paper discusses the detail execution methodology for efficient use of waste materials in semi-solid and liquid form. The proposed research will be very useful as a source of renewable energy. More precisely, in future it is possible to generate independent household electrification with such options.

Research about exploitation the potential of waste and sludge increased drastically in the recent years. One of the most promising alternative methods of waste management is Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), which generate clean bio-electricity using microorganisms. Organic compounds, sewage, municipal solid waste could be used as a source for microbial nutrition. The construction of MFC is one of the most important parameter in laboratory studies and during scale-up. The efficiency of MFC depends on many factors including type of membrane. To obtain optimization in terms of various operating conditions, a prototype of Microbial Fuel Cell with exchangeable membrane was projected and fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) technology. This novel device allows to research effects of different types of separator membranes. Preliminary research showed possibility to produce 3D printed MFC systems.

The world's energy needs generally come from non-renewable sources. In other circumstances, some research on renewable energy is being developed from a variety of different sources, one of which is biomass. Biomass changes the energy system towards the modernization of the bioenergy system by utilizing the concept of biochemical systems (BESs). A microbial fuel cell is known as one of the renewable technologies that convert biomass with the help of microbes to produce electricity. This research is based on a microbial fuel cell based on ecoenzyme Citrus reticulata known as Ecoenzyme fuel cell to determine the electrical value (voltage, current, and power density). Ecoenzyme was made from orange peel waste, molasses, and water with a ratio of 3: 1: 10 and fermented for a month. Meanwhile, the electrode device used was a pencil graphite. Some treatments were carried out to optimize the performance of the system based on the number of electrodes (one pair and three pairs), and the stirring conditions, stirring at 200 rpm and without stirring (0 rpm). The EFC system was run for four weeks (600 hours) with the highest voltage obtained at 650 mV and current at 29.55 mA. The ecoenzyme produced the most significant power density of 750 W/m2 in the treatment of 3 electrode pairs with a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The influence of electrodes and stirring in the MFC system upsurged the electrical value output by 53.7% for a pair of electrodes and 142% for three electrode pairs. Further development will continue to be done to improve the performance and output of the Ecoenzyme fuel cell system as a future renewable energy source in Indonesia.
