NEXT-GENERATION FUEL CELL: FROM WASTE-TO-ELECTRICITY

The food waste treatment-based anaerobic digestion has been proven to play a primary role in the electricity industry with high potential economic benefits, which could reduce electricity prices in comparison with other renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power.  -- Ngoc Bao Dung Thi , TDTU, Viet Nam Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations mentioned that over 1.3 billion tons of food waste (FW) represents a third of the global food production that is churned out annually [1a, 2] . Both the developed and developing nations have 15-63% of their municipal waste streams to be from FW [3] . In the same way, the world has doubled its total energy consumption over the last two decades, especially due to the population surges in many countries, which was noted by International Energy Agency (IEA) [4] . In this field some of the scientists aims to evaluate the electricity generation from the anaerobic fermentation (AnF) of FW and spent animal beddi...
