Logan MFC. 'Inexhaustible' source of hydrogen may be unlocked by salt water Monday, September 19, 2011 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A grain of salt or two may be all that microbial electrolysis cells need to produce hydrogen from wastewater or organic byproducts, without adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere or using grid electricity, according to Penn State engineers.
"This system could produce hydrogen anyplace that there is wastewater near sea water," said Bruce E. Other Author Articles. Immobilization of anode-attached microbes in a microbial fuel cell.
