Project: Bioelectricity via the biomass: Microbian Fuel Cell (MFC) & Plant-Microbian Fuel Cell (P-MFC)

Abstract:
The Microbian Fuel Cell allows to transform directly chemical energy contained in organic components (biomass) into electrical energy.
Micro-organisms form a biofilm by colonizing of conductor surfaces and act as an oxydation catalyst responsible of electron production.
Electrons are collected through an anode and a cathode to produce clean electricity

Objectives:

  • Current plants generation Feasibility,
  • The cell functioning parameters study,
  • Cells design study,
  • Potential assessment, implementation of the plant cell and plan for wider application

Date:
2014

Period:
36 months
