1 GCEP Research Symposium 2013; Stanford University Progress Toward Efficient and Sustainable Hydrogen Production To Nature and Beyond Jim Swartz, Department of Chemical Engineering Department of Bioengineering [FeFe] Hydrogenase
2 Sustainable Energy Future? : Planet Earth Solar Energy H 2 O Photosynthetic Organisms Our Overall Objective Directly or Indirectly Energy: H O 2 2 Economy H 2 Power Plants, Fertilizer, Cement, Automobiles Current H 2 Market $135 Billion Made from CH 4 1.3% of CO 2 Emissions
3 Large Potential for Photosynthetic H 2 Production Current U.S. Consumption Of Liquid Fuels plus Nat. Gas 60 x Btu / yr Assume: Solar Incidence of 7 kwh/m 2 -day and 7.5 % Energy Efficiency (Overall) Need 35,000 Square Miles = 5 % of Current Cropland (But Do Not Need to Convert Current Crop Land)
4 But in (Bio)Chemical Engineering: In order to Dream BIG, We have to think SMALL 4 nm [FeFe] Hydrogenase (CpI) (from Clostridium pasteurainum) 2 H e - H 2 Up to 20,000 Reactions per Second!!
5 Can We Engineer An Organism to Make Hydrogen Directly From Sunlight and Water? h Ferredoxin H 2 PSI H + e e H + Hydrogenase H 2 O O 2 thylakoid lumen FNR Calvin cycle Sugars stroma H + ATP O 2 CO 2
6 Even Better, Can we Hard-Wire the Hydrogenase to the Photosystem? O 2 O 2 O 2 PSII Cytb 6 f PSI PQ PQH 2 e - e - PC FNR 2H + H 2 Fd CpI H 2 O 2H + + ½O 2
7 In Addition, Could We Go From This CH 4 + N 2 NH 3 + CO 2 To A More Sustainable Process? Biomass Enzymatic depolymerization NH 3 Fertilizer Sugars Enzymatic electron transfer to hydrogenase H 2 + CO 2 Chemicals/Fuel Need: High Conversion Efficiency and High Productivity
8 But Can We Make this Complex Enzyme? How is it Made Naturally? The Active Site of Fe-Fe Hydrogenases is Complicated: Stabilized by Cysteines, Carbon Monoxide, and Cyanide CO CN CO CN CO 1 Peters JW, Lanzilotta WN, Lemon BJ, Seefeldt LC Science 282(5395): An NREL Group* Discovered Three Required Maturases HydE, HydF, and HydG *Posewitz et al., JBC: 279:25711 (2004)

10 FTIR Spectroscopy of Apo-Hydrogenase Matured with Isotopically Labeled Tyrosine Confirmed that All the CO and CN Was Derived from Tyrosine These results show that the CO comes from the -CO 2 group on tyrosine and the CN comes from the alpha carbon and amino nitrogen Kuchenreuther et al (Swartz, Cramer, George).; PloS ONE 6(5) e

12 This work also enabled Improvement of Hydrogenase and Maturase Production in E.coli SDS-PAGE Gel of Lysate Supernatant (unpurified) Yields are at least 30 times higher than any previously reported. But, Not All of the Hydrogenase is Active Kuchenreuther, et al. PLoS ONE 2010

16 Back to Business: How Do We Efficiently Convert Sugars into Hydrogen? To Minimize Cost, We Will Use Unpurified Cell Extracts First Mobilize the 24 Electrons Available from the Glucose Using The Pentose Phosphate Pathway (in Red) 6 H 2 O Glucose Glucose-6-P 6 CO 2 (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) Oxidative Phosphorylation ATP H 2 O ADP ½O 2 P i 1 NADPH + 1 H + 12 NADPH + 12 H + 1 NADP + 11 NADPH + 11 H + FNR Pentose P i Pathway 22 Fd ox 11H 2 22 Fd red 22 H + H 2 ase Biomass Enzymatic depolymerization NH 3 Fertilizer Sugars Enzymatic electron transfer to hydrogenase H 2 + CO 2 Chemicals/Fuel 11 NADP +

18 Back to Business: How Do We Efficiently Convert Sugars into Hydrogen? To Minimize Cost, We Will Use Unpurified Cell Extracts But We Need to Phosphorylate the Glucose 6 H 2 O Glucose Glucose-6-P 6 CO 2 (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) ATP Oxidative Phosphorylation H 2 O ADP ½O 2 1 NADPH + 1 H + Using Oxidative Phosphorylation; We should only need 1 NADPH P i 12 NADPH + 12 H + 1 NADP + 11 NADPH + 11 H + FNR 11 NADP + Pentose P i Pathway 22 Fd ox 11H 2 22 Fd red 22 H + Thus, the Conversion Yield Should Exceed 90% Fermentation Yields are Less Than 30% H 2 ase
19 Proof of Principle: Hydrogen Production from Glucose Cell Lysate plus Purified FNR, Fd, & H 2 ase Produced H 2 The FNR/Fd/H 2 ase pathway is limiting Phil Smith (now at BMS) Franklin Lu
20 For Commercial Conversion of Glucose (and Xylose) to H 2 Need HIGH Productivity for Distributed Facilities Published enzyme turnover numbers and expected expression levels suggest possible Fuel Value Productivity of 500 kj/liter-hr* About 10 times higher than current ethanol plants Cell Growth & Enzyme Expression *Assumes FNR Turnover Rate of 10/sec Homogenizer Glucose Glucose Glucose Air Air H 2 CO 2 N 2 Air

28 We Needed a Device for High Throughput Screen for Hydrogen Production Capability and Oxygen Tolerance For Calibration, We Inject Hydrogen Gas Below the 96- well plate. Inject Oxygen to test for Oxygen Tolerance A The 96-well Plate Sits on the Frame and is Covered By a Gasket (the hardest part) B A Glass Plate Coated with Paladium and Tungsten Oxide is then Clamped on Top Jamin Koo and Tim Schnabel C
29 The Screening Device is Working -- We can also Regenerate the Sensor Plates A Digital Camera Takes Images Over Time and Image Analysis Software Interprets the Rate of Color Formation Color Color formation rates: 10 mm DTH + 10 um CpFd + CpI [CpI] 0.08 nm 0.16 nm 0.32 nm 0.00 nm Linear (0.08 nm) Linear (0.16 nm) Linear (0.32 nm) Linear (0.00 nm) Jamin Koo and Tim Schnabel Time (s)
30 Conclusions 1. The in vitro H 2 ase maturation system is a valuable tool. 2. Cell-free metabolic engineering offers efficient and highly productive conversion of cellulosic biomass to hydrogen. 3. New Tools and Knowledge suggest feasibility for photosynthetic hydrogen production ---- BUT, we still need a productive, oxygen-tolerant hydrogenase.
