Microbial fuel cell world championship
Finalists will present at EMPOWER Saclay on September 25th
Mi-Hy brings together Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology and hydroponics, thereby introducing a prosthetic rhizosphere (an extended rhizosphere community) to the typically โsoil-lessโ configuration of hydroponics systems. The Mi-Hy system will modulate nitrogen forms, plant root microbiomes optimise nitrogen uptake, and mobilise phosphorous, averting the need for chemical fertilisers. This circular, sustainable platform turns carbon into biomass and reclaims nitrogen from wastewater streams.
The project brings together 7 international partners coming from different disciplines and is funded by the Horizon Europe program.
