Cheap beer = Cheap Electricity?

Foster’s is teaming up with scientists at the University of Queensland to convert beer wastewater into energy. They will be building a “fuel cell” powered by bacteria. The bacteria will consume the beer wastewater, which is ripe with all sorts of good stuff: sugar, starch, and alcohol.
The cell will convert the chemical energy into electrical energy. Don’t get too excited, they are talking about a cell that can generate 2 kW of power, enough to only power one home.
Why don’t they take it one step farther? Might as well use the beer waste water they are putting into the Foster can.

Don?t spill any syrup feed on the outside of the hive or the ground. This can start robbing. It is much easier to prevent robbing from starting than it is to stop it……
