Microbial Fuel Cell A Bioelectrochemical System that Converts Waste
This book represents a novel attempt to describe microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as a renewable energy source derived from organic wastes. Bioelectricity is usually produced through MFCs in oxygen-deficient environments, where a series of microorganisms conve

Foreword
The increasing consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels has led to the global energy challenge with respect to climate change and local environment pollutions. The world is searching for alternative renewable sources of energy. Microbial fuel cell mechanism is an attractive renewable technology that can convert wastes into a directly usable form of energy, i.e. electricity. MFCs are unique in the
