Summary
Hydrogen is an attractive power source since it could reduce air pollution, and the United States' dependence on foreign fuel sources. However, it is a difficult source to harness. To that end, South Dakota State University scientists are designing a manure digester that would turn the resulting gas into hydrogen. A shift in federal funding has put the project on hold for now, but designers say they are ready to build as soon as the moneys are available.

Details
- Several research projects in the Midwest are looking to hydrogen as a fuel source that could reduce air pollution and dependence on foreign oil.
- Hydrogen is seen as an alternative to fossil fuels since it doesn't release carbon dioxide, a leading cause of global warming.
- But because there's no abundant natural source of pure hydrogen, it must come from elsewhere.
- One of the projects is at South Dakota State University in Brookings.
- Scientists there want to build a manure digester that would turn the resulting gas into a renewable source of hydrogen.
- Plans are on hold because of a shift in federal funding, but SDSU officials say researchers are ready to build once the money is there.
