Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology is an advanced approach for electricity generation using microorganisms and with the advantage of subsequent treatment of waste water. Bacteria mediated electricity generation has been reported since the twentieth century. In todays world, fuel conservation is the most critical issue demanding availability of alternate energy resources. The main objective of MFC is to generate power using biological resources, which are readily available from nature. MFCs are used in waste water treatment plants thereby reducing waste treatment and power consumption costs. We have discussed different technology designs that employ MFC based energy generation method. Critical components required for construction of MFCs are reviewed and investigated. MFC based energy synthesis is discussed with reference to alternate technologies for renewable energy. The economics pertaining to efficient energy generation is studied for MFC mediated in comparison with other invented methodologies. Finally, the advantages and more importantly disadvantages of alternate energy generating technologies is been discussed.
