Abstract

This position paper presents part of the history of Microbial Fuel Cells development for practical applications. The paper gives examples of real-world implementation, learnings from field trials and how these have contributed to the fundamental advancement of the technology. Given the status of global affairs and the significance of energy security–in many cases, at the cost of access to resource-the paper also provides a perspective on the future of the technology and where it may offer a valuable utility.
