Biohydrogen production: prospects and limitations to practical application
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the hydrogen production rates of various bio-hydrogen systems by first standardizing the units of hydrogen production and then calculating the size of biohydrogen system that would be required to power proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells of various sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of hydrogen production from biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of these technologies for hydrogen production from biomass is presented. And the future development will also be addressed, as well as future development of the future technologies.

The roles of acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens during anaerobic conversion of biomass to methane: a review
B. Demirel,Paul Scherer +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is primarily to review the recent literature about the occurrence of both acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens during anaerobic conversion of particulate biomass to methane (not wastewater treatment), while this review does not cover the activity of the acetate oxidizing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors influencing fermentative hydrogen production: a review
Jianlong Wang,Wei Wan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized several main factors influencing fermentative hydrogen production, including inoculum, substrate, reactor type, nitrogen, phosphate, metal ion, temperature and pH.

TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are developing technologies to produce hydrogen from renewable, sustainable sources as discussed by the authors, and a cost goal of $2.00-$3.00 kg−1 of hydrogen has been identified as the range at which delivered hydrogen becomes cost competitive with gasoline for passenger vehicles.

Effect of pH on hydrogen production from glucose by a mixed culture
Herbert H. P. Fang,Hong Liu +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of pH on the conversion of glucose to hydrogen by a mixed culture of fermentative bacteria was evaluated and the diversity of microbial communities increased with pH, based on 16S rDNA analysis by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of biological hydrogen production from organic fraction of municipal solid waste
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model developed from the Gompertz equation was used to estimate the hydrogen production potential and rate from organic municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and two seed microorganisms, namely heat-pretreated digested sludge and hydrogen-producing bacteria enriched from soybean-meal silo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biohydrogen production as a function of ph and substrate concentration
TL;DR: The conversion of organics in wastewaters into hydrogen gas could serve the dual role of renewable energy production and waste reduction and the highest conversion efficiency was 46.6 mL H2/(g COD/L).
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of hydrogen production from glucose by nitrogen gas sparging.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of N2 sparging on hydrogen yield was investigated in non-sterile conditions using a hydrogen-producing mixed culture previously enriched from soya bean meal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and optimization of anaerobic digested sludge converting starch to hydrogen.
TL;DR: Experimental results obtained emphasize that the response of metabolites was a more useful indicator than hydrogenic activity for obtaining efficient hydrogen production, and expressions of contour plots indicate that Response‐Surface Methodology may provide easily interpretable advice on the operation of a hydrogen‐producing bioprocess.
