Recently, Turkey has been experiencing some challenges that disrupt its march of progress. These challenges include the dependence on nonrenewable energy resources. Electricity consumption has increased substantially, causing heavier reliance on fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are considered an unaffordable burden on the government's budget and emit enormous amounts of hazardous gases like CO2 and SO2. To solve this problem, I searched for various types of alternative energy sources and found a way to generate electricity from the soil by modified Plant microbial fuel cell (P-MFC). Microbial Cells harvest energy from bacteria through anaerobic respiration. The plant, through its photosynthesis process, will produce the substrates needed by the bacteria. After that, the bacteria will take apart these substrates to produce the electrons needed to generate the electric current. With the modifications suggested by this study, the Plant Microbial Fuel Cell will open up a whole range of unexplored sources of sustainable energy in many areas of the world.
