Scientists turned rice plants into tiny power sources and reduced methane from paddy fields
Researchers harnessed rice plants to generate electricity using plant microbial fuel cells. Activated biochar electrodes improved power density and lowered methane emissions significantly. The rice-based system produced higher voltage than sediment-based fuel cells. This technology offers a promising step for sustainable energy generation in paddy fields. Further development is needed for large-scale application of this innovative system.
