Cambridge scientists build algae-powered biocell for clean electricity
Original: Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a 'biocell' using algae which generates electricity and could be used
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a 'biocell' powered by algae that generates electricity. The technology is being pitched as a possible alternative to disposable chemical batteries, which cause environmental damage both during manufacturing and disposal. Observers highlight it as a promising example of low-power, sustainable energy research emerging from UK universities.
Why now: Interest in sustainable alternatives to polluting disposable batteries makes this algae-based power research timely

Evidence
- Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a 'biocell' using algae which generates electricity and could be used to replace chemical disposable batteries which are so disastrous for the environment in both the making of and disposing of. # science # biochemistry #… · JD_Cunningham@sunny.garden · 4
