tomatoes waste to electricity

constructive waste diversion ? tomatoes
A team of scientists is exploring an unusual source of electricity — damaged tomatoes that are unsuitable for sale at the grocery store. Their pilot project involves a biological-based fuel cell that uses tomato waste left over from harvests in Florida. We acknowledge primary contributions from Alex Fogg, Daniel Franco, Joe Wilder, and Dr. Komisar.
