Sustainable development week in Paris shows how to produce hydrogen
Filed under: Hydrogen, European Union
Are you planning to go to Paris from April 1st to the 6th? If so, it'd be a good chance to visit the Palais de la Découverte, which is not only a stunning building as you can see in the above picture, but where the Week for Sustainable Development will be held. This event will include a set of hydrogen-related activities.
For instance, a couple of French universities will show how to obtain hydrogen from micro-algae, and another university will show a bacterial process that processes waste into hydrogen and something which can be translated as "bio-inspired catalyzing for hydrogen production." Last but not least, a project which obtains hydrogen from solar cells will also be shown. The activities also include discussions on how to store and use hydrogen: fuel cells, cells made from oxides, chemical storage, hybrid composite materials, gas storage, metal hydrates.
The ubiquitous BMW Hydrogen 7 will also make an appearance, as an example of the application of using hydrogen in internal combustion engines, and people will be able to ask for a ride.

Producing the hydrogen is not the problem . It is making it feasible for the mass market and invent a process that can make hydrogen at 10 million barrels a day . That is what we need. For no wi think out best bet will be hydrogen form water and obtaining hydrogen from growing certain types of single celled bacteria. The reason i say so is because single celled organisms are very easy to take care of and even though they have very little output. They multiple very fast and can very easily meet the worlds demand
