Abstract: A double chamber microbial fuel cells technology has been applied on defective leave of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentialis Hook.F) through the conversion of its waste leave into Bioelectricity. Adopting method of research fabrication described by Karmau etal (2017) the result of the voltage of 4.5V against 0.3V from the 2.5kg sample, current density (j) of 113A/m2 and power (p) of 2.0W in 120hours. The result present linearity in increase in voltage, power density, current density and power. It is likely that a slight increase in the system temperature enhanced a corresponding decrease in internal resistance of the electrolyte leading to ionic mobility and conductance as concentration increase with leave decomposition. Therefore, processing of waste or defective fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentialis Hook.F) leave via Microbial fuel cell application can be a good source of green electricity generation and a good step on its waste management.
