We are increasingly thinking about hydrogen as a successor of crude oil—for instance, through the use of hydrogen fuel cells. But where will the hydrogen come from? Industrial or domestic bioreactors using green algae could be the ecologically cleanest source. An international team of researchers has, for the first time, precisely described the chemical reactions responsible for the stability of hydrogen generation in an aerobic environment by algal enzymes.
