Energía alternativa producida por microorganismos, un desafío para la generación de energía eléctrica y remoción de la materia orgánica

Abstract

At the same time as the population rate grows, the demand for electric power in the planet also do it, in the actuality, the only power sources capable to support the energetical demand are got by burning of the fossil fuels, these sources generate a substantial negative environmental impact, for example atmospheric impact. The need for supply this demand must be focused on the technologies that help to the environmental impact positively, that is, named alternative energies. The appearance of renewable energies like a solar and Eolic energy, have in objective to minimize environmental impact and greenhouse effect, the MFC are a promising option in the future, well if these can be massive, that is, it must be capable to supply electrical energy to a community, because can be to remove the organic material in the generation of power supply. To explain the way of function, to sort out the conformation and composition of a microbial fuel cell, is the objective of this article.
