A recent photoshoot for a Peugeot electric vehicle was powered by electricity generated from plants, marking a novel application of microbial fuel cell technology.

This innovative approach, which could one day contribute to home energy, is currently being used in art installations and outdoor lighting projects, with plans to expand its use in water quality monitoring.
