From photosynthesis to a new energy source

We know photosynthesis from biologie class in school. The plants use it to change water into oxygen and hydrogen. Together with CO₂ from the air hydrogen changes to glucose which the plant needs to grow. The oxygen which stays form the photosythesis gets emitted to the environment.

Now scientist decoded the photosynthesis – they could use their knowledge to change water into hydrogen and oxagen synthetically. They hope that that’s a new way to produce hydrogen – maybe to use it as a new fuel for cars…

Until now, the production of hydrogen was very negative impact on the environment, because of the evolving  CO₂. With the new possibilities we could produce hydrogen without the polluting CO₂.
