Green energy from organic waste, and living plants for a sustainable future

Climate change is one of the most severe challenges for a sustainable future. Resource recovery and recycling of organic waste is a burning question in recent times. To prevent global warming and climate change, green energy should be introduced. Microbial fuel cell is an innovative technology in which bioelectricity can be generated with the metabolic activities of the bacteria while degrading the organic substances. This research uses microbial fuel cells to generate green energy from organic waste and living plants. The by-products of bioelectricity generation from organic waste can be used as a soil conditioner or compost in the field. The various plants can use this compost to generate bioelectricity by using plant microbial fuel cells. This system can enhance the resource recovery option from organic waste and at the same time increase the use of living plants for bioelectricity generation for the future.
