Increasing human activities are consuming the natural energy sources leading to depletion of fossil fuels. The present-day energy scenario in India and around the globe is precarious. The need for alternate fuel has us to initiate extensive research in identifying a potential, cheap and renewable source for energy production. Proper treatment of animal waste and resource recycling to reduce its environmental impact is currently important issues for the livestock industry. Slaughterhouse wastewater contains organic matter available for microbial energy recovery. Hence it is an ideal solution for treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater and energy recovery. A microbial fuel cell is expected to play two roles in both wastewater purification and energy recovery. It is a device that converts chemical energy into electricity through the catalytic activities of microorganisms. It also breaks down the organic matter present in the wastewater by degrading into less harmful forms. The results demonstrated that the organic matter removal efficiency of MFC using copper electrode was 80.2% and the maximum amount of electricity generation is 2.10 Volts and Copper is the suitable electrode for maximum electricity generation and maximum organic matter removal.
