Scientists try to imitate

plants use sunlight how to make more efficient renewable fuel.

Aa> Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) embark on a ? 800,000 project to replicate photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into sugars to help them grow .

The method can be used to produce hydrogen, which can be used as free fuel emissions from cars, or converted into green electricity.

    expects that the method of placing small solar panels on microbes to exploit the sunlight and promote hydrogen production will be more efficient to convert energy the sun that exists today.
  • Principal Investigator Professor
  • Julea Butt of UEA, said. "The reserves of fossil fuels and reduce fuel prices continue to rise, so it is very important that we turn to renewable energy supplies
  • "Many renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and waves remain largely untapped resource.

"This is mainly due to the problems of conversion of these forms of energy in fuels from which energy can be released on demand - for example, when we turn on a light water boiling playing computer games or driving a car. "
