Hydrogen-producing living droplets paving way for alternative future energy source

 Algal cells typically change carbon dioxide into oxygen by photosynthesis. They used sugar and algal cell-packed droplets to generate hydrogen instead of oxygen during photosynthesis. They infuse the algal cells in a process called osmotic compression. They coated the droplet with bacteria to take away the oxygen out of the process so that the algal cells will generate stronger hydrogen activity.

This process consumes a lot of energy. They are looking for green ways to power the future. As we know, hydrogen can be a new greener energy source creating no greenhouse gases. This process could become a clean way of getting hydrogen in the future.
