Power to the (bio)masses : Effective (and cheap!) catalysts provide clean and practical sources for hydrogen. The new heterogeneous Pt‐ and Ni‐based catalysts allow the production of H 2 from biomass, a renewable resource (see picture). Guided by the principles of Green Chemistry, the new systems have important implications for establishing the role of hydrogen fuel cells as future power sources.
