Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN GAS USING THERMOCOCCUS SP. STRAINS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/121462
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen (H2) gas using strains of Thermococcus sp. The present invention does not require high pressure conditions unlike conventional chemical production methods, can generate hydrogen under atmospheric conditions, and does not generate harmful by-products. When compared with conventional techniques for producing hydrogen using microorganisms, the invention can produce high purity hydrogen at a high efficiency and produce hydrogen even at a high temperature condition. In addition, the present invention provides the economical advantage of hydrogen production by directly collecting high temperature carbon monoxide emitted from a petroleum refining process or the like without a separate cooling step. Furthermore, the invention can be useful for air purification.
