UK scientists hope plant power could replace power plants
2013-01-21 01:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: UK scientists are hoping to harness the process plants use to turn sunlight into energy to produce a new highly efficient and renewable source of zero-carbon fuel. A team of researchers working at the Universities of East Anglia (UEA), Cambridge, and Leeds has today confirmed it has been awarded 800,000 from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in a move designed to accelerate its research into the highly promising technology. The project aims to artificially...

UK scientists to mimic plants to make zero-carbon fuel
2013-01-21 01:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: British scientists seeking to tap more efficient forms of solar power are exploring how to mimic the way plants transform sunlight into energy and produce hydrogen to fuel vehicles. They will join other researchers around the world studying artificial photosynthesis as governments seek to cut greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. The research will use synthetic biology to replicate the process by which plants concentrate solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then...
