University of Warwick researcher Dr Ashok Bhattacharya and his team are part of a Europe wide consortium that have cracked the problem of how to extract very pure levels of hydrogen from wet bio-matter, such as sewage or paper mill waste. This very pure hydrogen can then be used in "fuel cells" to power homes, factories and cars. Cultures of tiny algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, can be conditioned via a simple microbial switch to forego what they normally do best: produce plant matter via photosynthesis and give off oxygen in the process. Instead, switched-on algae would produce hydrogen renewably, essentially from sunlight and water, stored in its cells as carbohydrates and other biochemical materials. January 7, 2002--On reclaimed land in Kobe, the Environment Ministry is testing a state-of-the-art facility that generates electricity from kitchen waste with almost no risk of dioxin discharge, noise pollution or worsening global warming by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. What is Hydrogen? - Hydrogen, chemical element that exists as a gas at room temperature. Hydrogen gas is odorless, tasteless, colorless, and highly flammable. When hydrogen gas burns in air, it forms water. French chemist Antoine Lavoisier named hydrogen from the Greek words for "water former." How do Fuel Cells Work? - You may have heard a lot recently about fuel cells. According to many news reports, we may soon be using the new energy-saving technology to generate electrical power for our homes and cars. The technology is extremely interesting to people in all walks of life because it offers a means of making power efficiently with little or no moving parts ( did you know a larger size fuel cell needs a cooling system? ) . But how does it do this and what are the other requirements a fuel cell needs for operation.
