Biohydrogen

Résumé du livre

Bioenergy signifies a sustainable and futuristic alternative to fossil fuels in the realm of growing energy demands, depleting fossil fuel reserves, and increasing pollution loads manifested due to fossil fuel usage. In this context, hydrogen (H2) has gained significant attention as a future energy carrier due to its clean and sustainable nature. Considerable interest has been generated regarding H2 production by biological routes employing photobiological, dark fermentation, thermochemical, enzymatic, etc. Utilizing wastes as a potential source for H2 generation through biological routes has instigated considerable interest and further opening up a new avenue for the utilization of renewable and inexhaustible energy sources. A comprehensive attempt is made through this chapter to compile the contemporary work pertinent to biohydrogen research in unified approach.
