Researchers at the Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a green hydrogen production method with over 90% efficiency using a biocatalyst.
Developed by TAU doctoral student Itzhak Grinberg and Dr. Oren Ben-Zvi, with guidance from Prof. Iftach Yocaby and Prof. Lihi Adler-Abramovich, the research results have been published in the Carbon Energy journal.
Grinberg explained that although atmospheric hydrogen is produced by enzymes in microscopic organisms which receive energy through photosynthesis, it remains very rare. In theory, the team wanted to electrify the enzymes to provide energy rather than the sun.
