Well, sorta ... http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/chem/news/nrauch.html Thomas Rauchfuss is trying to figure out how to apply the same chemistry the bacteria are using to produce hydrogen from acid in large quantities. The following is moderately interesting as well: http://www.unep.or.jp/ietc/Publications/INSIGHT/Fal-96/9.asp
