Microorganismos como fuente de energía alternativa
Summary: The widely known alternative energy sources are, in general, renewable energy sources such as solar cells, fuel cells and wind energy. At this time, various types of hydrogen and methanol based fuel cells are working well and there are already applications for, for example, notebook computers. However, one wonders if this power generation is really sustainable. Also, the customer may not like to transport hydrogen gas (even captured within a metal hydride matrix) or methanol. But microbial fuel cells can work on a wide variety of substrates that are readily available, even in any supermarket. Substrates such as natural sugar and starch are easy to store, contain more energy than any other type of food per unit of volume and are easy to dose, in addition, they have a more "ecological" image than, for example, methanol. Additionally, microbial fuel cell (CCM) can be developed that are environmentally friendly in terms of material composition. When microorganisms function as biocatalysts that motivate the degradation of organic materials to produce electrons, which travel through an electrical circuit, the fuel cell is called a microbial fuel cell. This article covers an introduction to CCMs, the current state of CCMs, and the broad applications of CCM technology.
