The advancement of microbial fuel cell technologies in the 1980s was largely spurred by the dream of providing cheap, accessible power to remote regions of Africa, where 74% of the population lives without electricity [10]. Although implementation of homemade MFC use in Africa is just beginning, microbial fuel cells that run on manure and dirt have been developed and tested. The electrical current produced by a simple homemade MFC is enough to recharge a cell phone battery, an important communication and lighting tool to rural African communities. Companies such as Lebone Solutions are trying to create simple microbial fuel cells that can be easily built by using commonly found items in rural farming communities. The materials required to construct this simple MFC are soil, manure, copper wire, buckets, and graphite cloth.
