Harvesting Hydrogen from Farm Waste
The National Research Council of Canada’s Biotechnology Research Institute has begun research and development of a process that will extract hydrogen from organic waste materials like fermentable feedstock and manure. The materials are processed to hydrogen by dark and photofermentation. The goal is to “come up with biosystems that could be grouped into a multiple-stage process to capture almost all the hydrogen from the primary feedstock”. One dairy farm in Ontario is already producing power from manure using an anaerobic digester.

Is there an advantage from deriving hydrogen rather than another biogas from this waste? Do you get more usable energy, for example?
The problems of containing and shipping hydrogen would have to be overridden by some advantage. Otherwise make something like methane and make life easier.

Whether the this Hydrogen Fuel cell can be re-used or not?
If so what is the cost?
Where these cells are available in the market
