Geobacter Microbial Fuel Cells for Monitoring System Service in the Public Sector: Microbial Fuel Cells in Marine, River, Wetlands and Coastal Environments.

The dissertation will focus on coastal areas and wetlands, especially in the area of renewable and sustainable energy sources through Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) energy. The concept of ecosystem services appears to be fundamental and implicit in the goal of sustainable development; linked to this is the respect of the biosphere by anthropogenic intervention. Such an approach results in eroding in many species of global biogeochemical cycles leading to an increasing decline of ecosystems, with the need to manage the natural capital of human society in a sustainable manner. Currently, renewable energy, including in rural settings, remains one of the most important research topics in the public sector. Let’s considering a view on Public Administration (PA), the intervention of Service Design in the public sector, land and water resources, and the potential for intervention in environmental respects: an anthropogenic intervention of sustainable and renewable energy revenue is proposed by going to work in cooperation with the ecosystem, inserting itself in a non-invasive, but beneficial way in the soil and sediments of the area. Energy supply that is reliable, efficient, and has less carbon emissions is one of the primary requirements for smart cities. It is intended to propose a strategic bottom-up study from direct monitoring as a support to coastal sampling, working alongside the reference analysis laboratories of the prepared public bodies, with the relevant stakeholders, for the directives of the territories understood as extraregional for wetlands and coastal zones being able to ensure a capillary system and semi-permeable boundaries between states. One of the objectives of the proposal will be to search for a solution through the tools, techniques and methodologies of service design to dialogue both strategically to the objectives and operationally to the interventions that are to be developed to monitor and safeguard these environments, developing a possible technological solution. These data are collected and aimed at preventing and eliminating harm to: discharges, emissions, leaks of dangerous substances, etc. (Water Management Plan, Water Framework Directive 2000/60/CE). The Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology introduced in the field of inland water quality monitoring is aimed at ensuring the protection of water environments, as opposed to the current more time-consuming and invasive methods of sampling and analysis, by implementing a sustainable, durable and regenerative process for local, off-grid energy production. The Geobacterial Fuel Cell (GFC) experimentation directly in open environment, partly uses the methodologies of biomimicry and bio-inspired design, from the understanding that biological systems are like databases of sustainable design solutions and innovations that can be used in flood monitoring and forecasting. In this, the study of form; physical, electronic and chemical principles; and derivation of services in isolation, come in handy for the system's inclusion in complex biotopes.
