Efficient Hydrogen Generation

The World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) publishes an amazing number of high-quality reports and E-newsletters. One of today's E-newsletters included a story about Pennsylvania researchers who have developed an efficient process for generating hydrogen from biodegradable organic material.

In a process called electrohydrogenesis, an electrical charge is applied in a microbial fuel cell. The energy in the hydrogen created is nearly 3x that of the electrical charge applied.

Here's a link to the full text article .
