Bioenergy Research: Biomass Waste to Energy

Part of the book series: Clean Energy Production Technologies ((CEPT))

Abstract

Hydrogen is contemplated as one of the most reliable, hopeful option, and it is also considered that it would be the best option for next generation fuel. Hydrogen is also recognized as a carrier of green energy. In various countries, hydrogen is contemplated to be a prominent substitute vector of energy, which may be a causeway and a prospect to a sustainable energy resource. Hydrogen is not a freely accessible primary energy source in nature; it is a form of secondary energy source. There are good opportunities to convert this secondary energy source into other energy sourced like electricity. Hydrogen can also be produced from diversified energy sources using different manufacturing techniques and can be utilized in different areas. Bioprocesses provide opportunities to produce hydrogen from rechargeable, economical, and ecofriendly biological resources such as biomass and solar energy by different natural processes like photo fermentation, dark-fermentation, and direct or indirect photolysis. This chapter provides vast information on production of hydrogen using biological sources like microorganisms, different substrates concentrations, role of added chemicals, process variables, such as pH and temperature of substrates, agitation, and so on. Recent researches are giving more emphasis on sustainable and ecofriendly energy from electrolysis, biomass, biocatalysis, and photo-catalysis to replace traditional fossil fuels. These techniques may be the best choices with huge potential, which can meet the energy need and can ensure uninterrupted supply of fuel in the future. In this chapter complete attention is given on the different pathways of production of hydrogen and its practical application in different fields.
