Bioengineering High Efficiency Solar Driven H2 Production

该项目旨在对高效微藻细胞系进行生物工程改造，以驱动太阳能从水中生产氢气。它计划通过增加向产生h2的氢化酶提供质子和电子来实现这一目标。它建立在具有增强光捕获效率和H2生产能力的专利细胞系之上。该项目的目的是在开发经济太阳能燃料系统的重要步骤中提高过程最后阶段的效率（三倍）。国家利益包括开发先进的微藻燃料系统，以提高未来的燃料安全，减少二氧化碳排放并协助区域发展。

The project aims to bio-engineer high-efficiency microalgae cell-lines that can drive solar powered H2 production from water. It plans to do so by increasing proton and electron supply to the H2-producing hydrogenase. It builds on patented cell lines that have enhanced light capture efficiency and H2 production capabilities. The aim of this project is to increase the efficiency of the last stage of the process (three fold) in a major step in developing economic solar-fuel systems. National benefits include the development of advanced microalgae fuels systems to increase future fuel security, reduce CO2 emissions and assist with regional development.
