Forget biodiesel, algae could produce hydrogen

In recent years, algae has gotten a fair bit of attention for its potential use as a feedstock for producing biodiesel. While the net carbon output of algae sourced liquid fuels could be a huge boon to the environment, there is a possible path that could yield zero carbon emissions. Researchers at the University of Tennessee are working on a process to produce hydrogen from algae via photosynthesis. The process would separate a particle produced by the algae during photosynthesis. The particle would then produce hydrogen in the presence ... Read more →

Using artificial photosynthesis to produce hydrogen 3 years ago on Autoblog Green

Hydrogen is being widely pursued as a fuel sources because it produces no greenhouse gases when used in either combustion of fuel cells. Producing hydrogen can be problematic though since pure hydrogen is rare. Scientists in Germany and the United States are working on yet another possible mechanism ...
