The UK and the international community are focusing on developing zero-carbon emission fuels, particularly hydrogen, using renewable energy sources like solar energy. The high cost of conventional methods for solar energy conversion to electricity or heat has been a barrier. A new proposal suggests utilizing natural biological and photocatalytic processes for cost-effective solar energy harvesting to directly produce renewable hydrogen fuels. This approach aims to embed hydrogen production within integrated energy systems involving fuel cell and storage technology. Success in scaling up these processes could revolutionize the supply of carbon-less fuel and boost hydrogen's viability as an energy carrier. The project targets enhanced hydrogen production from water using solar energy-driven processes, including optimizing bio-hydrogen production from a green alga and splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen using innovative electrode and catalyst technologies. The initiative not only promises scientific and technological advancements but also positions the UK as a leader in sustainable energy solutions, paving the way for a truly sustainable energy future.
