Abstract
The invention relates to a method for biotechnological production of a hydrogen carrier. It is proposed to culture ammonium-producing cyanobacteria in which, by increasing the nitrogenase activity and/or blocking the utilization of ammonium in the cell metabolism and/or providing an exit mechanism for ammonium via the cell membrane, the ammonium yield is increased. The ammonia generated by the cyanobacteria is made available as a hydrogen carrier.
