Termites can produce Hydrogen, could be a climate change solution

[TermiteHydrogen]

Hi,

I'm a Chemical Engineering PhD student studying the production of Hydrogen from Termites, and wanted to share a video on my journey. And don't worry, the Hydrogen is produced naturally, and the Termites aren't harmed.

Kind regards,

Vinay

Fascinating experiment! I'll be following this.

Also: Hilarious video

Appreciated!

And glad you liked it!

They're currently settling in and we're looking to buy some specific equipment to measure the gas composition produced, by which time hopefully the Queen will start producing eggs again!

I have shared it with a friend studying Ecology in Wageningen University and encouraged her to share it with her professors. No clue if it will be picked up but I'm sure it can't hurt
