'Hydrogen is tomorrow's biofuel' say scientists
(May 17, 2012) Researchers
from the University of Birmingham are creating clean hydrogen from food waste
paving the way for a bioenergy alternative for the future.
Currently,
Brazil is the world’s most intensive user of bioethanol as an alternative to
gasoline for powering transport. There are questions about whether the mass
production of bioethanol using sugarcane is sustainable in the long-term.
Bioethanol generates carbon dioxide and agricultural waste. However, creating
clean hydrogen from waste not only uses that waste but provides a fuel that is
emission free and can also be generated sustainably.
