Why one way but not the other - just that pouring power onto the grid requires cooperation but producing hydrogen doesn't, or is there something more fundamental at play?


The fundamental principle would be that enzymes have an comparative advantage when utilising and producing complex organic molecules as fuel for hydrogen production (such as glucose in wastewater) while inorganic catalysts are cheaper, more stable but limited to simple reactions


Thank you!
