    The document discusses how three students from a university in Malang, Indonesia developed ways to generate electricity from organic waste such as banana peels, orange peels, and spinach using a microbial fuel cell method. They were able to generate 0.5 Volt Ampere of electricity from their simple and inexpensive reactor. The students hope to further develop their research to make the reactor cheaper and more portable.

    Malang Students Turn Waste Into Electricity


    Three students from the School of Agricultural Technology at Brawijaya
    University in Malang, East Java, have developed ways to optimize waste as an eco-
    friendly solution to energy needs.
    Elviliana, Chrisma Virginia, and Oddy chose waste banana and orange peel and
    spinach as research materials, as they were abundant, easy to find and cheap.
    "Indonesia is rich in organic plants. However, its waste is still yet to be processed
    properly even though it has potential to become a source of electrical energy," said head
    of the team Elviliana on Monday.
    "According to studies in several science journals, we found a MFC (Microbial
    Fuel Cell) method, which is a technology that converts biomass energy from organic
    waste into microbial activity-based electricity," she said.
    She added that the research results did not involve any chemical substances. They
    stated that the direct-conversion method was more practical and efficient with the usage
    of a single-chamber reactor.
    The students said the process was relatively simple and cheap. Waste was mashed
    by using a household grinder, and then inserted into a plastic reactor. Electrical energy
    was generated after the microbes' acclimatization, which took one day.
    "Not only were he materials cheap and easy to find, making the reactor only cost around Rp
    40,000 (US$2.70)," Elviliana said.
    The electrical energy outcome was reasonably small, as the reactor generated 0.5
    Volt Ampere (VA). Of the three waste sources, Elviliana said the banana peel generated
    the most stable energy.
    "As long as there was still substrate for the microbes to consume, the reactor could
    generate electricity for one year," she added. She and the team wish to further their
    research so the reactor can cost less and be more portable.
    The research will be published in the International Conference on Biomass in
    Bogor, West Java, in August, and will also be presented in the Tokyo-Tech Indonesian
    Commitment Award in October in Japan.
    In the meantime, we are filing for a patent. We are also developing a method of
    utilizing pure solid waste without any microbes or chemical substances, as well as waste
    residue in the reactor that can be used for ecobricks, or eco-friendly bricks," she said.
