A new source of clean energy could be on the horizon.

are being scaled up, they are limited by the issues of intermittency - where they cannot generate power continuously or on demand. An enzyme-based energy generation device can be switched on and off at will, much like an electricity generator.For many years, researchers have known that bacteria living in nutrient-poor regions turn to hydrogen from the atmosphere as a source of energy.

The researchers at Monash University's Biomedicine Discovery Institute then turned to a common soil bacterium,to probe into this further and extracted an enzyme called Huc, which can convert hydrogen gas into an electric current.
