Algae as a hydrogen fuel source
April 2, 2008 | Source: KurzweilAI
Argonne National Laboratory scientists are engineering algae’s photosynthesis process to produce hydrogen gas by adding the enzyme hydrogenase.
Algae that naturally have hydrogenase produce only small volumes of hydrogen. With the enzyme added to photosynthesis the algae should produce as much hydrogen as oxygen.
