Will hydrogen be the future energy source? Ch. Prashanth Reddy HYDERABAD, Dec. 28 THE Murugappa Chettiar Research Centre (MCRC) of Chennai, after a decade-long study of photolytic bacteria, has developed the process for production of hydrogen sustainably from spent distillery wash, sago waste and whey in the laboratory, according to Prof C.L. Gupta of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. Prof Gupta, who is the Vice-President designate for Solar Energy Society of India (SESI), said that a pre-commercial pilot scale plant using distillery waste as substrate has been commissioned and tested at a factory site. The hydrogen produced at the place was used in an exploratory trial to operate a fuel cell. The Hindu Business Line Saturday, December 29, 2001
