Make Hydrogen Gas from Modern and Old Time Research

Make Hydrogen Gas from Eggshells?
Modern Research:

Did I say eggshells? Yes!

EGGSHELLS: Project leader L.S. Fan, an Engineer at Ohio State University, is one of the researchers that has discovered a way to turn discarded chicken eggshells into an alternative energy resource.

"The key to making pure hydrogen is separating out the carbon dioxide," Fan said. "In order to do it very economically, we needed a new way of thinking, a new process scheme." - Fan is a distinguished Ohio State University Professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the university.

"We're trying to maximize the usable hydrogen storage capacity of borohydride in order to make this fuel cell power source last longer," says study leader Don Gervasio, Ph.D., a chemist at the University's Biodesign Institute, Center for Applied NanoBioScience. "That could lead to the longest lasting power source ever produced for portable electronics."

Are there other ways that hydrogen gas can be made from other sources of renewable organic materials?

BACTERIA: "Researchers [at Penn State University] have invented a way to harvest protons and electrons from bacteria in a reactor and create small quantities of hydrogen gas."
