Abstract
Hydrogen fuel is an interesting fossil fuel substitute due to its rich energy content, sustainable nature, and fuel efficiency. However, it is difficult to obtain. As a result, the demand for hydrogen has gone up significantly. Water electrolysis, hydrocarbon steam reforming, coal gasification, and partial oxidation techniques are all familiar approaches for producing hydrogen; however, they are not profitable because of high energy necessities. Compared to chemical approaches, biohydrogen gas processing has various advantages. Biological photolysis of water by algae and photo- and dark fermentation of organic resources, normally starch and sugars, by microbes, are the main biological processes used to produce hydrogen gas. The consecutive photo- and dark fermentation procedures are a relatively novel method to produce biohydrogen. In the manufacture of photo- and dark fermentative hydrogen, the prices of raw materials are a crucial concern. Carbohydrate-enriched substances like starch and cellulose-containing food and agricultural industry wastes, effluents from the olive mill, cheese whey, and baker’s yeast industry can be used for hydrogen making use of appropriate bioprocess techniques. Biological decomposable substances for hydrogen generation, as previously stated, provide low-cost energy generation including wastewater treatment.
