Bioelectrochemical systems include technologies such as microbial fuel and electrolysis cells. They hold promise as energy-efficient waste treatment systems, but the energy efficiency of the current generation is low. The aim of our research is to change this. We have identified that the anode of these systems takes up heat from the environment. We are now quantifying this somewhat unexpected heat flow with the idea of using the energy to improve the energy efficiency of the system.
