| Summary: | The global demand for energy has led to the search for alternative energies, with low production costs and that minimize environmental impacts. Among the existing technologies, the fuel cell (CC) stands out, which converts chemical energy into electricity. A variant of CC is the microbial fuel cell (MCC), where energy is produced by metabolic reactions carried out by microorganisms. The objective of this work was to evaluate the power generation potential of the CCMs using the plants Torenia fournieri, Kalachoe blossfeldiana, Pentas lanceolata, Nephrolepis exaltata, Begonia semperflorens, Asplenium nidus as an alternative source of renewable energy in the municipality of San Jacinto, Bolívar, Colombia. For this, the efficiency of the CCMs was built and analyzed using soil, sand, organic fertilizer and wood ash in a ratio of 3:2:1:1/2, as a means of supplying bacteria. The CCMs were analyzed, as well as the possible variations when using native plants (CCMP). The efficiency of the CCMPs was evaluated by monitoring the potential difference between the cell electrodes. The CCMP with the highest average was with Begonia Semperflorens, 0.607 V, and the lowest with Asplenium nidus, 0.069 V. The highest voltage peaks occurred in Torenia fournieri, with 1.782 V, and Asplenium nidus, with 1.587 V. This study revealed that the CCMPs are a promising technology, which could promote the country's energy development. It is a sustainable, low-cost, viable strategy that contributes to compliance with SDG-7 and is replicable in Colombia and the world |
