Abstract
The global energy crisis due to the diminishing of fossil fuels with an increasing demand for power has a major impact on the environment and the health of humans. On the contrary, waste production has been increasing for many decades. Among wastewaters, industrial wastewater is a challenging threat in today's era. To generate bioenergy as an alternative energy source, wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery by microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) are very efficient. Different METs are being developed, some of them being very efficient; for example, microbial electrolysis cells produce hydrogen or methane from organic matter when electric current is applied. Microbial electrochemical snorkel is a microbial fuel cell which has a short circuit. Geobacter sp. produces 556 mW/m² power from food wastes. An alga Shewanella sp. produces 50 mW/m² from dairy wastewater. Therefore, resource recovery technology using desirable microorganisms is very convenient.
