Estudio de caso sobre la energía a partir de plantas vivas y propuesta de prototipo

Abstract

In the face of the constant demand for electrical energy, various technologies are studied to reduce dependence on conventional energies, which have led to a breaking point in environmental conditions. Thus, recent biotechnologies include microbial fuel cells applied to plants, which will be the mainstay of this research. Likewise, the aim is to carry out a scientometric study with the Scopus database, which allows the comparison of documents focused on research regarding the production of clean electrical energy from microbial fuel cells in plants (P-MFC) to analyze the factors that mainly encompass the correct functioning of a P-MFC and study the possibility of implementing the MFC in isolated plants within a closed microcosm, in other words, terrarium. This research seeks to propose an ideal prototype based on the previously compared results of various authors; the analysis prospects possible scenarios in the implementation of self-sustaining biotechnology.
