Light-driven biocatalytic cell factories

该项目旨在开发单细胞藻类，使其能够利用廉价、可持续的资源——阳光和水——高效地生产绿色氢气。这个项目的成功将极大地提高光到燃料的转换效率，从而改变行业的游戏规则。预期的高效电池将成为广泛的其他光驱动先进生物制造应用的宝贵资源，从高价值生物制药（例如<10公顷规模）到可再生燃料（例如10-1000公顷区域规模）。其好处包括先进的绿色化工和生化制造、多样化的绿色氢气生产来源、区域发展、行业增长、就业保障和出口。

This project aims to develop single-cell algae optimised for high-efficiency green hydrogen production from cheap, sustainable resources - sunlight and water. The success of this project would be a game changer for industry by dramatically improving light to fuel conversion efficiencies. The expected high-efficiency cells would be a valuable resource for a wide range of other light-driven advanced bio-manufacture applications from high-value biopharmaceuticals (e.g. <10 Hectare scale) through to renewable fuels (e.g. 10-1000 Hectare regional scale). The benefits would include advanced green chemical and biochemical manufacturing, diversified sources for green H2 production, regional development, industry growth, job security and exports.
