Abstract:
    why are we falling behind if the world is becoming renewable? "Micropowers" is all set to bring power to Pakistan. It is an eco-friendly idea that is based on the generation of electricity through the catalytic activity of exoelectrogenic bacteria involved in the anaerobic oxidation of organic substrates. It focuses on turning solid waste into a highly valuable component, i.e., electricity.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Energy shortages and solid waste management are two major issues in our society. As with solid waste, microbial fuel cells can generate green energy. Our idea is just a step towards filling these two gaps in our society with zero environmental damage.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Electricity is a basic need of daily life. Areas with limited access to electricity are hotspots for solid waste microbial fuel cells. Thousands can benefit from this technology as much as they want.
How will the solution works
    Solid waste microbial fuel cells are a type of bioelectrochemical system that uses microorganisms to convert organic matter in solid waste into useful energy. The microbes use anaerobic digestion to break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen to produce electricity. We'll use that electricity to power some low-end devices such as chargers, LED bulbs etc. It is the most economical solution to fulfil basic electricity needs compared to other solutions.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    As of today, no company in Pakistan is providing these services. "Micropowers" will be the first startup of its kind in Pakistan that will be working on the idea of the generation of green electricity at a very cheap price. We aim to provide electricity solutions as economically as possible.
