Composting microbial fuel cells can generate electricity from recycled organic waste at accelerated degradation rates. However, the problem of high internal resistance (Rint), which results in low power density, is a technical obstacle related to this process, and the preferential conversion of the organic fraction by bioelectrogenesis remains unclear.
Commissioned by the Sector Network Rural Development of GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development), forest scientists of the Forestry Research Network of Sub- Saharan Africa (FORNESSA) conducted the present study on adaptation of forests and people to climate change at two localities in Ghana and Malawi, respectively.
