An untapped potential : An efficient and sustainable method for directly producing hydrogen from cellulose and fermentation end‐products in a modified microbial fuel cell was recently reported. Bacteria grown from soil and wastewater feed on the organic matter, transferring electrons and releasing protons. Application of a small voltage to the circuit results in hydrogen generation.
