Producing hydrogen to fuel heavy transport and industry is energy intensive and expensive. Shannon Boettcher has overcome one roadblock to producing low-cost, green hydrogen from water and electricity.
Veronika Kivenson, Jill Banfield, Alanna Schepartz, and collaborators identify a new genetic code present in multiple kinds of microbes called archaea that may help scientists reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Yaghi is being honored for pioneering the design and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, enabling advances in gas storage, carbon capture, and water harvesting from air.
A big advance in carbon capture technology could provide an efficient and inexpensive way for natural gas power plants to remove carbon dioxide from their flue emissions, a necessary step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warming and climate change. Developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and ExxonMobil, the new technique uses a highly porous material called a metal-organic framework, or MOF, modified with nitrogen-containing amine molecules to capture the CO2 and low temperature steam to flush out the CO2 for other uses or to sequester it underground.
The team of Professors Omar Yaghi (UC Berkeley) and Evelyn Wang (MIT) have won the Alternative Water Resources prize, which will be awarded at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
