Microbial Fuel Cell

28 April 2005 by Hydrogen Power

The BioElectrochemically-Assisted Microbial Reactor or BEAMR, makes hydrogen from waste. Neat idea, now they just have to scale it up.

The BEAMR isn’t restricted to “carbohydrate-based biomass” for hydrogen production.. In theory, the MFC can produce hydrogen from “human, agricultural or industrial wastewater” and leave the wastewater clean. And it uses just ten percent of the voltage needed for electrolysis.
