Summary and opportunity for research on Microbial Fuell Cell, MFCs, using agro waste

The increasing in global energy requirements day by day, result in the depletion of fossil fuels and creating negative impact of climate change, has led researchers towards significant research attempts to develop cleaner technologies for energy production. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) (*) is one of the emerging attempts in generating clean energy. However, in recent years, post-harvest burning of agricultural wastes by farmers in the fields has significantly increasing air-pollution in India and other East-Asian nations. Because farmers believe these wastes to be useless, they burn them to reduce their residual management time, resulting in the release of dangerous pollutants. These pollutants lead to air pollution and smog formation, and may have serious health consequences, particularly for individuals who live near burning areas. Innovative research in the area of MFCs using post-harvest agricultural residue as feed may have a positive influence on the development of a cleaner and more sustainable society. This paper provides a summary and opportunity for research on MFCs using post-harvesting agro-waste as a feed source, as well as the economic and commercial challenges associated with such research.(*) MFC?is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by the action of microorganisms (Wikipedia) SourcesOpportunities for microbial fuel cells to utilize post-harvest agricultural residuesRajesh, S., Kumawat, A.S.?Ionics (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11581-023-05175-9https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11581-023-05175-9 Picture, Construible.es - Aprovechamiento de los residuos agr?colas para nuevos materialeshttps://www.construible.es/2015/01/20/aprovechamientos-de-los-residuos-agricolas-para-nuevos-materiales
