Exploring the Potential of Biotechnological Production of Hydrogen as a Source of Energy

This article discusses the current state of biotechnological production of hydrogen as a source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as a “freedom energy”, but in reality most of it is still produced from fossil sources. To meet climate neutrality goals by 2050, electrolysis must increase by 6000-8000 times. One potential source of green hydrogen is through photosynthesis in algae and bacteria, however this process produces oxygen which inhibits the enzyme responsible for water splitting. Scientists are exploring ways to use genetic engineering to reduce the amount of oxygen produced and thus increase efficiency.

Hydrogen as a Renewable Energy Source

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe and has been identified as a potential source of renewable energy. Hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity without producing any emissions, making it an attractive option for clean energy production. Hydrogen can also be used to store energy from renewable sources such as solar or wind power, allowing for more efficient use of renewable energy resources. In addition, hydrogen can be produced from water through electrolysis, making it an affordable and accessible form of renewable energy.
