Renewable energy generation using MFCs

In order for MFCs to compete with other technologies in renewable energy generation, the costs of making the reactors and the source of the material must in the near term be competitive with fossil fuels. If carbon taxes are included in the costs of making energy 

How much energy is in the food that you eat Determine the power generation in watts 

To answer this question, we must first realize that a Calorie used by nutritionists is not the same as calorie used for engineering calculations. One Calorie is equal to 1000 cal, or 1 Real. Thus, a daily diet of 2000 Calories is equal to 2000 Real. Thus, the power is 

Thus we see that the food you eat, if converted with 100% efficiency to electricity, would only provide about -100 W per day, or the amount of power in a large light bulb. Considering that each person uses 11.1 RW of energy as a part of their daily lifestyle, we can see that food as fuel has large challenges to sustain our society. Thus, we need to looR to biomass, not just food, as energy sources.
