🍞🧪 Professor Stephen Wallace and his team at the University of #Edinburgh used E. coli to convert bread waste into #hydrogen gas.

This one-pot microbial reaction allows for industrial hydrogenation to occur at near-room temperature without #fossilfuels. The method is #carbon-negative because it diverts #food waste from landfills while replacing traditional chemical processes.
