This book presents bio-electrochemical conversion of waste into fuel-a cutting-edge process that leverages biological and electrochemical techniques to transform organic waste materials into valuable energy sources. This technology mainly utilizes microorganisms, such as bacteria, capable of decomposing complex organic compounds present in waste. By combining microbial metabolism with electrochemical reactions, waste can be converted into biofuels like hydrogen or methane, along with other valuable products, including organic acids and alcohols. The process generally involves microbial fuel cells (MFCs) or anaerobic digesters, which create optimal conditions for microorganisms to thrive and effectively carry out their conversion activities.
