Hey there! I hope this newsletter finds you well. Today, I want to talk to you about an exciting technology that could play a major role in our quest for a more sustainable and regenerative economy: microbial fuel cells (MFCs). For those who may not be familiar with MFCs, they are devices that use bacteria to generate electricity through a natural, biological process. They are composed of two compartments: an anode and a cathode. The anode compartment contains bacteria and organic matter, while the cathode collects the electrons released by the bacteria as they consume the organic matter. MFCs are highly efficient, converting up to 85% of the energy in the organic matter into usable electricity, and they are environmentally-friendly as they consume waste materials that would otherwise be discarded and produce no harmful emissions. They can use a variety of organic materials as a source of energy and can also produce valuable byproducts such as hydrogen.
