And unlike the burning of fossil fuels, the only by-product is oxygen and some water that are harmless to the environment.” Researchers from the Manchester Metropolitan University ( the Manchester Metropolitan University ) have won a £ 128,000 ($ 100,000 ) grant for a new technology that may bring sustainable energy to remote communities otherwise dependent on petrol and gas. The process functions by 3D printing large quantities of inexpensive electrodes with graphene-like nanotechnology. These are then MMU into electrolysers which convert water into oxygen and hydrogen, and MMU ’s work means the latter can then be easily stored or physically transported as a gas without deterioration, before being fed into fuel cells. As well as providing an on-demand electricity source, the only by-product of the process is oxygen and water. Alongside the grant, awarded by fed , the researchers are collaborating with the European Marine Energy Centre to further research into the capabilities of the screen-printed electrolysers, the cells and the fuel cells.
