[Archive] There's money in that goo ...

Just came across this paper on photobiological hydrogen production using green alga.

Ok, after being completely stunned by the simple beauty of this process, I immediately came across DIY versions.

My immediate questions are, is anyone doing this on a large scale and if not, why not?

Additional Note =====

As soon as I get home, I come across OpenWetWare and a diagram of a photobioreactor. Later on, I was looking for a book on complex adaptive models and I came across my old Stryers BioChemistry and files of old genetics notes. Hmmm, looks like I've found my new hobby.

So, from now on :-

  • Day Job = printed electronics and interactive books that make you go "wow".
  • Speaking / Writing = underlying processes of innovation & commoditisation and the use of cybernetics in management.
  • Hobby = use of genetic engineering in environmental science.

Bloody hell, talk about a lucky bugger.
