Unmediated MFC:
Unmediated MFC is also known as the acid-base catalyst (ABS) cell and it utilizes a solution of potassium or sodium bicarbonate along with an acid such as sulfuric or hydrochloric to generate electricity. The power generated can be used directly to charge batteries, converted into heat energy, or transmitted for use in another system.
The Unmediated MFC market size was valued at USD 816 million in 2016.
Application Insights:
The agriculture application segment led the market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The microbial fuel cells find extensive applications in the agricultural sector, such as biogas plants for tractors, combines and trucks; animal feed production; greenhouse gas reduction; and effluent anaerobic digestion.
Microbial fuel cells are increasingly being adopted by governments as an effective tool to reduce greenhouse gases through regulation implementation of renewable energy policies that support their use across all sectors including transportation, heating/ cooling, electricity generation, etc. This factor is anticipated to propel product demand over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Europe dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing R&D activities and technological advancements associated with microbial fuel cells. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period, which can be attributed to rising industrialization and growing awareness about MFCs among end-users. Moreover, government initiatives for promoting clean energy sources are anticipated to further propel regional growth during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources is driving the growth of microbial fuel cells market.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using MFCs for wastewater treatment is another major factor propelling the growth of this market.
- The increasing number of research and development activities in MFC technology is also contributing to the growth of this market.
