Demand of energy is increasing in the whole part of the world, it is estimated that in near future a significant energy crisis will be occurred. Furthermore, fossil fuels play a noticeable role for environmental pollutions. So, an alternative clean and environmental amiable renewable energy source is the most significant demand for the modern scientists. Bio-fuel cell especially microbial fuel cell can partially eliminate this crisis by producing electricity from biodegradable waste. Considering this aspect we produced double chamber MFCs where Zinc and copper plates are used as anode and cathode materials. In this study urine and fish waste mixed waste water are used as a source of substrate, aerobic bacteria helps to decompose it, in anode chamber where oxygen amplifies the reduction reaction in cathode chamber. To find out the effects of urine and fish waste on the performance of voltage, current and power we used digital multimeter and Hantek 365A data logger. Urine mixed waste water gives the maximum voltage 1.02 V, current 1.67 mA and power 1.7034 mW, whereas, for fish mixed waste water these values were 0.968 V, 1.365 mA and 1.3213 mW respectively. The whole operation we done batch wise, initial pH 8 and cell volume was 5 liter.
