Dr. Hans Gaffron was born in Lima, Peru, on May 17, 1902, and was a son of the German physician Eduard Gaffron and his wife Hedwig von Gevekot. He was one of the earlier researchers trying to elucidate the mechanistic and biochemical details of photosynthesis and plant metabolism. His most notable finding was the discovery of a process whereby unicellular green algae can produce molecular Hydrogen (H2) in the presence of light, and that the precursors were derived from photosynthetic water-splitting. Applications based on his work have led to many efforts to develop H2 as a renewable biofuel.

  • Hans Gaffron (* 17. Mai 1902 in Lima, Peru; † 18. August 1979 in Falmouth, Massachusetts) war ein deutschstämmiger Biochemiker. Er war der Sohn des deutschen Arztes Eduard Gaffron und dessen Frau Hedwig von Gevekot. Er studierte in Berlin; sein Doktorvater war Wilhelm Traube. Gaffron war einer der herausragendsten Experten der Photosynthese und der biochemischen Prozesse des pflanzlichen Metabolismus. Eine seiner potentiell wichtigsten Leistungen war die Entdeckung der wasserstoffproduzierenden Eigenschaften der Grünalge in einer von Stickstoff isolierten Umgebung. Diese Entdeckung (Wasserstoffbioreaktor) könnte heute dazu verwendet werden, um Wasserstoff als Energieträger zu erzeugen, und wird daher weltweit von Forschungseinrichtungen untersucht. (de)
