UK scientists to mimic plants to make zero-carbon fuel
2013-01-21 01:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: British scientists seeking to tap more efficient forms of solar power are exploring how to mimic the way plants transform sunlight into energy and produce hydrogen to fuel vehicles. They will join other researchers around the world studying artificial photosynthesis as governments seek to cut greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. The research will use synthetic biology to replicate the process by which plants concentrate solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then...
