“…Biomass, through treatment and conversion processes, can be converted into different types of energy carriers. The parameters that determine the choice of the production process are diverse but the most important ones include the renewable end-product required, the quality and quantity of biomass, and the cost of the process (Dalena et al, 2017).…”

“…Liquefaction is a biomass conversion process conducted in water at moderate temperatures ranging between 280 to 370 °C and high pressures (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). A liquid biogranulate, similar to crude oil, as well as other gaseous, aqueous, and solid by-products are also generated (López Barreiro et al, 2013).…”

“…These electrons undergo the plastoquinone (PQ) pool which is situated in Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII). The transfer of electrons to the PQ pool is associated with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-plastoquinone oxidoreductase (PQOR) in the chloroplast of different types of vascular plants (Dalena et al, 2017). In this process, PSI assimilates light energy and generates electrons.…”

Biohydrogen Production From Biomass Sources: Metabolic Pathways and Economic Analysis

The commercialization of hydrogen as a fuel faces severe technological, economic, and environmental challenges. As a method to overcome these challenges, microalgal biohydrogen production has become the subject of growing research interest. Microalgal biohydrogen can be produced through different metabolic routes, the economic considerations of which are largely missing from recent reviews. Thus, this review briefly explains the techniques and economics associated with enhancing microalgae-based biohydrogen production. The cost of producing biohydrogen has been estimated to be between $10 GJ-1 and $20 GJ−1, which is not competitive with gasoline ($0.33 GJ−1). Even though direct biophotolysis has a sunlight conversion efficiency of over 80%, its productivity is sensitive to oxygen and sunlight availability. While the electrochemical processes produce the highest biohydrogen (>90%), fermentation and photobiological processes are more environmentally sustainable. Studies have revealed that the cost of producing biohydrogen is quite high, ranging between $2.13 kg−1 and 7.24 kg−1via direct biophotolysis, $1.42kg−1 through indirect biophotolysis, and between $7.54 kg−1 and 7.61 kg−1via fermentation. Therefore, low-cost hydrogen production technologies need to be developed to ensure long-term sustainability which requires the optimization of critical experimental parameters, microalgal metabolic engineering, and genetic modification.

“…The selection of bacteria with a remarkable capability of producing hydrogen from waste like glycerol has been a challenging struggle [37]. To date, researchers are still trying to come up with an efficient way of cultivating such desired culture for a photo-fermentative hydrogen production process.…”

The fluctuating fossil fuel price in the global energy sector and environmental destruction that comes with such fuels have paved ways for alternative fuels. Renewable hydrogen fuel is one of those alternatives which have generated massive interest in the world of renewable energy due to its unique property as a fuel-free of any pollutant. Biochemical conversion of waste materials of biomass origin to hydrogen is a sustainable technique for hydrogen production. Glycerol, a waste obtained during biodiesel manufacturing process has been found to be a suitable feedstock for hydrogen production using PF processes. The present work reviewed literature related to the PF process of glycerol to hydrogen. In the process, a methodical comparative study of recently available research reports on renewable hydrogen production as fuel from glycerol through PF was employed. The review emphasizes the challenges bedeviling PF of hydrogen from glycerol and suggested solutions to that effect with future recommendations on potential research areas needed to be undertaken to improve the process.
