Water will be the primary byproduct. A novel metal complex for electrolysis of water will be used to generate the hydrogen at high rates. The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced. per gallon. Harvard, Univ.
