ABSTRACT
This chapter summarizes the different types of waste that are used in microbial fuel cells for electricity production in cost-efficient manner. Both human and animal are suffering from various kinds of diseases, the quality of air and soil are affected, and, therefore, the entire ecosystem is disturbed. Bioenergy can be produced from global biomass systems which contain enormous amount of biomass in the form of food, fodder and fibre production and forest wastes and residues management. Biomass is a combination of different organic substances, raw or processed, with the natural form of energy. The advantages of the bioprocess are partially offset by the high cost of required cellulose degrading enzymes, generation of toxic compounds during pretreatment of cellulose, and lack of fermentative microorganisms that may efficiently utilize all the by-products. Geobacter sulfurreducens is a novel microorganism for microbial fuel cell technology because it has a high potential for current generation.
