Page 3 of 3 Commercialisation of the process, however, is still around the 2020 time frame, according to Professor Spiccia."To be realistic you need a 15 year time frame before something can actually make it into the commercial process." Professor Spiccia said the efficiency of the system needed to be improved, but this breakthrough had huge potential. "We need to continue to learn from nature so that we can better master this process." "Hydrogen has long been considered the ideal clean green fuel, energy-rich and carbon-neutral. The production of hydrogen using nothing but water and sunlight offers the possibility of an abundant, renewable, green source of energy for the future for communities across the world." The research is published this month in the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie, International Edition.
