KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

With the increasing growth in population and improvement in living standards, the human demand for backup power generation has also increased. Although various power generation methods are available, alternative and localized power generation for backup purposes is still not commercially viable. The energy supply may not match energy demand. Fuel cells can be used to fulfill the backup energy demands of the system. A microbial fuel cell (MFC), or biological fuel cell, is a bio-electrochemical system that drives an electric current by using bacteria and mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy by action of microorganisms.


Based on type, the microbial fuel cell is divided into mediated and unmediated. Most microbial cells are electrochemically inactive. Electron transfer from microbial cells to the electrode is facilitated by mediators such as thionine, methyl viologen, methyl blue, humic acid, and neutral red. Most available mediators are expensive and toxic. Mediator-free microbial fuel cells use electrochemically active bacteria to transfer electrons to the electrode (electrons are carried directly from the bacterial respiratory enzyme to the electrode). Among the electrochemically active bacteria are Shewanella putrefaciens, Aeromonas hydrophila, and others. Based on end-user, the global microbial fuel cell is divided into residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, military, utilities, etc.

 Key Industry Developments



  • In January 2019, JSP Enviro, a Chennai-based startup, is in talks with a garment-dyeing unit in Tirupur to set up a prototype microbial fuel cell technology wastewater treatment plant that would generate power. The startup was founded by alumni of the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M).

  • In February 2019, a team of researchers from IIT Bombay has developed a design of microbial fuel cells that can produce electric energy using waste. The cells will not only help in generating power but will also curb pollution caused by untreated waste.
