This project explores the use of food waste as a renewable energy source through microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Food waste, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, can be transformed into electricity via MFC technology. A prototype tested a fruit waste (banana peels), it start with processed banana peels into sludge and placed in anode chambers. Voltage outputs were measured in one day. The fruit waste can produce the highest energy due to its simpler composition and higher sugar content. This research highlights the potential for MFCs to convert food waste into sustainable energy, supporting renewable goals and reducing environmental impacts.
