Are Water Authorities considering the use of microbial fuel cells?

Posted: 10 May 2012 04:02 PM PDT

I am very interested to know if Water Authorities are taking an interest in microbial fuel cells?

I suspect they have the potential to revolutionise the wastewater industry. Not only could they reduce operating costs by powering Wastewater Treatment Plants, I'd imagine that with Craig Venter invloved in the development, we could see genetically modified microbes that are much more efficient at devouring sewage than current biological sewage treatment options, and that could lead to smaller cheaper treatment plants and less sewerage infrastructure in general. I know that some water authorities need to spend 100's of millions of dollars on their infrastructure in the not-to-distant future. Hopefully this technology will reduce that bill somewhat.
