Abstract
Biohydrogen is considered a fuel for the future due to its unique attributes in clean energy generation, waste management, and high energy content. Recently, its economic production has gained considerable attention from numerous scientists and industrialists. This chapter addresses microbiological, biochemical, molecular biological, and other perspectives related to biological hydrogen production (BHP). Process parameters such as pH, substrate type, temperature, agitation speed, hydraulic retention time, and hydrogen partial pressure greatly influence the dark fermentation process. Therefore, several optimization approaches, including statistical and artificial intelligence, have been demonstrated. Additionally, different kinetic models associated with substrate degradation, cell mass growth, and product formation in dark fermentation have been discussed in detail. This chapter also discusses different types of reactors and their suitability for biological hydrogen production. The viability of any process relies on its ability to be applied to the industrial level. Therefore, the scale-up of the biohydrogen production process has been exemplified. In summary, this chapter presents a holistic overview of the biohydrogen production process and highlights recent scientific findings and achievements.
