British researchers have developed a fuel cell that produces energy out of urine. The cell uses biological processes to generate electricity, and would cost only one pound sterling. The researchers see that the fuel cell could be a lifeline to people in remote areas, generating cheap, renewable and carbon-free energy. The new cell is similar to earlier designs, but a lot cheaper, more efficient and smaller, making it more viable to become an actual future source of energy.
