Biohydrogen (H2) production from renewable wastewater signifies a sustainable alternative to a fossil fuel-based economy.
The book also discusses issues of biohydrogen economy, policy and environmental impact. Biohydrogen looks set to be the fuel of choice in the future, replacing both fossil fuels and biorenewable liquid fuels.
This book provides in-depth information on basic and applied aspects of biohydrogen production.
A comprehensive attempt is made through this chapter to compile the contemporary work pertinent to biohydrogen research in unified approach.
Hydrogen: Fuel of the near future. In: Nanda, S., Vo, D. V. N., & Nguyen-Tri, P., (eds.), New Dimensions in Production and Utilization of Hydrogen (pp. 1–20). Elsevier, Cambridge, USA. Redwood, M. D., Paterson-Beedle, M., & MacAskie, ...
ABSTRACT Hydrogen produced by microalgae and bacteria is biohydrogen. There are currently no practical biohydrogen production processes. However, several concepts have promise for near- to long-term process development.
Development of biohydrogen production by photobiological, fermentation and electrochemical processes: A review. ... biomass gasification for hydrogen-rich syngas production during allothermal and hybrid solar/autothermal operation.
This book presents latest research results and strategies evolving from an international research cooperation, discussing the current status of Biohydrogen research and picturing future trends and applications.
Unlike other well-developed biofuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel, biohydrogen production is still in the early stage of development. A variety of technologies are being developed for biohydrogen production.
Strategies for improving microalgae biohydrogen production and factors to be considered for scaling-up the process are also outlined in this chapter.
In this book, the potential biofuel biohydrogen is studied in terms of its generation, applications, and technology.
This chapter also emphasizes biohydrogen production technology that could maximize hydrogen yield by designing efficient bioprocess integration and energy and waste minimization.
Extensive researches in the past have shown substantial improvement and development in both the yield and the volumetric production rates of biohydrogen.
