Hydrogen production from algae

From the Science Show on radio national:
Conventional hydrogen production is expensive. A cheaper method involves using algae. The algae live in a series of ponds. Hydrogen is collected as it bubbles to the surface. An advantage is microalgae can be located on non-arable land and dont compete with food production.
Normally algae use sunlight to split [...]

Waste water plus bugs make hydrogen

Waste water plus bugs make hydrogen
Bacteria that feed on vinegar and waste water zapped with a shot of electricity could produce a clean hydrogen fuel to power vehicles that now run on petrol, researchers report. These so-called microbial fuel cells can turn almost any biodegradable organic material into zero-emission hydrogen gas fuel, says Professor Bruce Logan [...]

Termite Power: Can Pests’ Guts Create New Fuel?

Courtesy : National Geographic
Tiny microbes that live inside termites may one day help cure the world’s energy woes, according to scientists.
The researchers are trying to understand how bacteria that help termites digest wood and other plants release the hydrogen that’s trapped in the material.
“We don’t understand the full details of how the process occurs,” said [...]

Hydrogen Hwy

Catalyst tonight had an interesting segment relating to hydrogen and the path towards a hydrogen economy. The section on hydrogen producing algae was particularly interesting as well as the molecular bonding methods of storing hydrogen. The transcript is available online and I think they make the video available online at some point too.

Microbial Fuel Cell Design

Hello Ppl,
A step closer to hydrogen Economy !!!
Biological engineers at Oregon State University have designed a microbial fuel cell that is capable of generating about 10 times more electricity than previously possible from an air cathode microbial fuel cell of the same size.
