Abstract
A method for using a bioelectrochemical system for the remediation of contaminated substrates is disclosed. The system is partially submerged into the contaminated substrates and stimulates electron transfer by microbial species in order to degrade contaminating hydrocarbons in the substrate, including vadose zone substrates. A method for the generation of electricity using bioelectrochemical reaction in contaminated substrates is also disclosed.
