Biochemical Hydrogen Factory
Boston University’s Sean Elliott is researching a biochemical pathway to hydrogen fuel using bacteria-based red blood cells. By combining light-sensitive pigments with hydrogen-producing proteins, bacteria could produce hydrogen through exposure to
the sun. …
… “If they can make it work, the researchers hope to apply sunlight to induce chemical reactions in the pigments that will enable the microbes to produce hydrogen, an environmentally benign fuel. ” …
