Abstract
Today we are witnessing a global energy crisis due to huge energy demands and limited resources. Non renewable energy sources are depleting and renewable energy sources are not properly utilized .There is an immediate need for search of alternate way for energy generation .Microbial Fuel Cell(MFC) technology, which uses micro organisms to transform chemical energy of organic compounds into electricity is considered a promising alternative. Extensive studies have corroborated new insights into MFC, which show that a wide array of carbon sources including waste can be employed using a variety of microbes. Consequently , microbial transformation of waste using noval bio remediation strategies such as MFC for energy generations is considered as an efficient and environmentally benign approach. This paper deals with critical review of anaerobic bacterias and wastes that can be employed for bioenergy generation, microorganisms involved, power output, challenges and pit holes of MFC technology.
