TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the system can be further enhanced through additional input of electrolytic hydrogen, produced at higher energetic efficiency while improving the overall extraction efficiency, indicating that the use of external H2 can lead to a more efficient use of the extraction across the membrane.

TL;DR: A lack of response to TP, and low percentage of presumptive electroactive organisms suggested that DIET was not favoured under the current experimental conditions, and the possibility of stimulating direct IET, hence enhancing propionate oxidation, by increasing availability of proton carriers to decrease solution resistance and reduce pH gradients was evaluated.

TL;DR: A case study for canton Balao (Ecuador) proves the potential for cocoa waste as a source of renewable energy in rural areas based on experimental data, operational estimates and available cocoa waste.

TL;DR: Observations show that ethanol-consuming chain elongators can be found in several natural and engineered environments, but are not the same everywhere, emphasising the need for careful inoculum selection during process development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the in-situ electrochemical generation of caustic from sewage, and the average coulombic efficiency was 53 +/- 8% (n=10) at a current density of 10 mA/cm(2).
