Algae-in-a-vat may power the future
Genetically modified green algae could one day produce stored energy in the form of hydrogen gas, say Australian researchers, fuelling a hydrogen economy.
Associate Professor Ben Hankamer of the University of Queensland and colleagues report they have increased the sunlight-capturing efficiency of algae that can pump out hydrogen.
If successfully scaled up, the researchers say this could complement or be an alternative to our present carbon-based economy.
