The World Bank has provided funding to a company named Lebone (http://www.lebone.org/) to start trials with MFC technology to provide energy to isolated communities. Initial trials will be based in Tanzania and attempt to provide power for high efficiency LEDs and battery powered devices. Current applications are all limited to low power level devices. If power can be increased, or cells engineered for specific applications, then a large range of potential applications have been speculated to be possible.
