Microbial
fuel cell (MFC) is an bio-electrochemical system which drives the electric
current with the help of bacteria. It harnnesses the power of respiring
microbes and converts organic substrates in to electrical energy. MFC consists
of an two electrodes (anode and cathode) and membrane (a area that separates
two electrodes). Microbes at anode oxidizes the organic fuel generating proton
and electrons. Protons passes through membrane to cathode and electrons passes
through anode to external circuit in order to generate current. MFC has gained
attention due to its ability to generate power from organic or inorganic
compounds throug microorganisms.
Industry
Highlights:
The
global microbial fuel cell Market is set to witness significant growth due to increasing demand for portable water and government
initiatives for environmental sustainability. Provision of safe water is
necessary globally and wide range of biological and chemical methods are used
to ensure safety of water for consumption. So, microbial fuel cell technology
is used for testing the quality of water sources in order to meet the rising
demand for portable water. On the other hand, limited raw material availability
is one of the major restraints for the global Microbial Fuel Cell Market. However,
the increasing focus on wastewater treatment poses lucrative business
opportunities in the microbial fuel cell market as wastewater is a source of
innumerable microbial flora. So, generation of electricity from degradation of
wastewater with the help of microbial flora is expected to offer opportunities
to microbial fuel cell market.

Industry
Segmentation
The
Microbial Fuel Cell Market has been segmented based on application into power
generation, wastewater treatment, biosensor, and others.
Among
these end-users, wastewater treatment is the fastest growing segment in the
Microbial Fuel Cell Market due to rising investments in water & wastewater
treatment sector. Moreover, the key advantages of MFCs in wastewater treatment
industry includes less energy consumption compared to activated sludge process
and non-requirement of highly regulated distribution systems like the ones in
hydrogen-based fuel cells.
Also,
microbial fuel cells (MFC) yield 50 to 90% less solids to be disposed of and
generates more stable sludge compared to the one produced in aerobic treatment
process. All these factors are likely to drive the microbial fuel cell market
in the wastewater treatment segment.
Regional Outlook:
Region
wise, North America held the largest market share of the global Microbial fuel
cell market in 2017 driven by significant amount of investments and R&D
initiatives from the government and various enterprises. It is also
anticipated, that microbial fuel cell technology would be cost-effective as
compared to other alternatives including renewable energy production from
biomass.
