Purple bacteria can turn human waste into clean hydrogen energy
The new method reduces carbon emissions and turns wastewater treatment plants into green generators. A significant downside to wastewater treatment plants is their carbon footprint. Now, researchers have found a way to reduce carbon emissions from sewage and produce hydrogen energy at the same time. Their method uses purple bacteria and electrical currents to capitalize on the organic materials we flush down the toilet every day. We spoke with one of the study’s authors, Daniel Puyol of Spain’s King Juan Carlos University, to learn more.
