Abstract
In recent years, energy problems are one of the many serious global issues; the method of generating
power by the use of renewable energy, particularly microbial fuel cell has been in the limelight. One of
the biggest advantages using the microbial fuel cell is that it can generate electricity anywhere by merely
using only an organic solution, though the electric power is minuscule. So, we conducted an experiment
in order to raise the electric power. Our method of the microbial fuel cell is that it should be laid on an
organic solution that can alter the mud of a river, which in turn causes electric power to rise. Our goal
is to raise electricity power strong enough to start an engine.

Keywords: microbial fuel cell, renewable energy, organic solution
