An important development of biofuel from bacteria and electricity

Some scientists at the State University PA are developing a generation of biofuel from bacteria, known as electrometanogénesis . That it does is generate methane gas (natural gas) from one type of bacteria ( Methanobacterium palustre ) that is capable of reducing carbon dioxide in methane.
This conversion would be made through a complex system in microbial electrolysis cells, in which these bacteria act as catalysts for the reaction that can join the molecules of hydrogen to carbon.
With this development interesting electrical energy can be converted into biofuel. One initiative that could be crucial for the near future.
A development very productive as it could merge two alternatives that are still far apart, such as electricity and biofuels. If these are developing well possible that in a very short time we have more environmentally friendly engines, more powerful and more intelligent.
For now is a simple initiative and an idea of some scientists, but if they manage to create a fuel of this magnitude, perhaps in a couple of years the electric car is simply a thing of the past.
We will see that happen, because at this stage can move any type of fuel, and become the most important in the future.
