Microbial Fuel Cell, New Technologies in the Field of Green Energy and Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

As new technologies, biotechnology and biochemistry are always making innovations to achieve a good ecosystem, convert pollutants, produce biodegradable materials, develop production processes and dispose of waste in environmentally safe ways [1]. During the last century, fossil fuels considerably influenced economic and industrial growth. However, these fuels cannot indefinitely support global economy, and they endanger environmental health. The world will face the serious problem of energy shortage in future. One of the useful and practical solutions for this problem is to generate electricity from renewable resources without carbon dioxide emission [2].
