We report details of an amperometric method for measurement of hydrogen (H2) in the aqueous phase and its application to hydrogen evolution by an alga. Although amperometric measurement of hydrogen is not common, we wondered whether the conventional Clark electrode for measurement of oxygen could be applied to measurement of hydrogen simply by proper choice of voltage. Initial tests were encouraging. Further effort was necessary to obtain stable response. The resulting procedure has merits of high sensitivity at
