Produced hydrogen gas from woodchips

"If a small fraction – 2 or 3 percent figure is for global transportation needs. The research is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research; Zhang's DuPont Young Professor Award, and the University of Georgia have produced hydrogen gas pure enough to power a fuel cell by mixing 14 enzymes, one coenzyme, cellulosic materials isolated from wood chips, but crop waste or switchgrass could also be used. would actually need to convert about 10 percent of biomass – which would be 1.3 billion tons of usable biomass).

(He added that the 3 percent figure is for global transportation needs. (He added that the 3 percent – of yearly biomass production were used for sugar-to-hydrogen fuel cells for transportation, we could reach transportation fuel independence," Zhang said.

Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia have produced hydrogen gas pure enough to power a fuel cell by mixing 14 enzymes, one coenzyme, cellulosic materials isolated from wood chips, but crop waste or switchgrass could also be used. Tomorrow's fuel-cell vehicles may be powered by enzymes that consume cellulose from woodchips or grass and exhale hydrogen.
