Algae could generate hydrogen for fuel cells from PhysOrg.com
For several decades, scientists have known that certain species of algae can produce hydrogen in anaerobic conditions. More recently, researchers have been trying to take advantage of this ability to produce hydrogen that could be used by fuel cells to generate electricity--without expensive processes like electrolysis required for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
