Hydrogen Producing Bacteria: A New Source of Hydrogen for Fuel Cell Technology to Create Electricity

Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 posted by posted by visa @ 5:32 AM

Scientists from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and North Carolina State University are in process of identifying hydrogen producing bacterial strains. The hydrogen gas produced from these strains can be used in fuel cell technology to create electricity. The electricity produced from fuel cells are used in automobiles as a clean alternative to gasoline.

Comments:
Since microbes are good and potential sources of elements like hydrogen, sulfur, etc., genetic engineering of strains to overproduces them would open new vistas in world energy production.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
