Abstract

Energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form but not created or destroyed. Living organisms require available energy to stay alive, such as the energy humans get from food. Human civilization requires energy to function, which it gets from energy resources such as fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, or renewable energy. Many research and technological advancements have been made in the area of renewable energy sources and technology. This is due to the rapid exhaustion of the fossil fuel based energy sources which continuously increase in cost. The energy demand also will increase and will continue in near future due to the increase of population of the world. Therefore, there is need to develop alternative sources of sustainable energy especially a renewable energy. The aim of this project is to find the new source of renewable energy and to prove and demonstrate the generate electricity from wastewater by using Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). The methodology of this project is to design, develop, enhance and experiment of the MFC and to identify the maximum production of voltages, current and power that can be produced from MFC. Various types of test using double chamber MFC were utilized to obtain the maximum amount of power production such as types of water (i.e., fertilize water, lake water and soil water), distance of electrodes and thickness of electrode. The comparative result shows that the fertilize water generate the higher amount of power compared to soil and lake water.
