Blue-green Algae and Hydrogen Production: Carbon boosts to the rescue
A team of SRNL researchers is studying how the relationships between blue-green algae and its environment, particularly nutrients and other bacteria, affect its ability to produce hydrogen that could be collected and used for the nation’s energy needs. Results indicate that a carbon “boost” may increase the hydrogen production capacity of many strains.
One of the keys to making a hydrogen-powered future feasible is developing environmentally and economically sound methods of producing large quantities of hydrogen. Biological hydrogen production by cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, is a highly attractive option because...: >>MORE
