Abstract

Nowadays, energy is one of the most important elements in human life. The world are facing a crisis on the insufficient of energy to support human live being as the world energy demand growth rapidly in parallel of the increase of world population rate and it will continue in the future. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) as a renewable type of energy is a collective solution of this crisis. The aim of this project is to find the new source of energy and to prove and demonstrate the generation of electricity from food waste by using MFC. The methodology of the project is to design and develop an experiment on MFC using the test parameters such as different type of food waste, different pH value for the food waste, different size of electrode and different electrode positioning in the chamber. In the whole project, it is aiming to check for the maximum production of voltage, current and power that can be produce in MFC using food waste. The data were analyzed so the result gain from the MFC can be compared to improve its efficiency. This project will use various aspects of design and operation of MFC to find the best characteristic based on the test parameters. In conclusion, the energy can be harvest from food waste by using MFC.
