Photobiological Hydrogen Production from Cyanobacteria Encapsulated in a Solid-State System

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) and the University of Oregon have shown photobiological hydrogen production from one type of cyanobacteria ( Synechocystis sp. Cyanobacteria use water and light in the process of photosynthesis, and try to grow by producing carbohydrates. They also produce some hydrogen, though.

US DOE Awards $37 Million for Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Development

Green Car Congress

The 27 projects range from concept studies and component design research to prototype development and in-water device testing. Such a device offers the potential to significantly reduce construction costs and allow for generation equipment to remain dry. The goal is to develop an optimal generator for current energy conversion.
