“…Aerobes microbes, anaerobes organisms and facultative anaerobes were tested using different temperature ranges. The efficiency of fermentation hydrogen is about 1-5%, which shows that the process needs to advance in terms of efficiency [96]. It was claimed that the rate of production of hydrogen with monosaccharide is much higher than disaccharides [92].…”

“…Reports have shown how the temperature effects proportionally on the production rate of hydrogen. Thermophilic conditions were reportedly advantageous because of its thermodynamics [95,96], which gives higher reaction rates with better process performance and decreased problems with contaminating hydrogen-consuming microorganisms. However, no standard was observed yet regarding the exact temperature to be used in biological hydrogen production.…”

Summary This article gives an overview of the state‐of‐the‐art biomass‐based hydrogen production technologies. Various biological and thermochemical processes of biomass are taken into consideration to find the most economical method of hydrogen production. Biohydrogen generated by biophotolysis method, photo‐fermentation and dark fermentation is studied with respect to various feedstocks in Malaysia. The fermentation approaches of biohydrogen production have shown great potential to be a future substitute of fossil fuels. Dark fermentation method is a simple biological hydrogen production method that uses a variety of substrate and does not require any light as a source of energy. A promising future for biohydrogen production is anticipated by this process both industrially and commercially. Feasibility of hydrogen production from pyrolysis and water gasification of various biomass feedstock confirm that supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of biomass is the most cost‐effective thermochemical process. Highly moisturized biomass could be employed directly in SCWG without any high‐cost drying process. Indeed, a small amount of energy is required to pressurize hydrogen in the storage tank because of highly pressurized SCWG process. The cost of hydrogen produced by SCWG of biomass is about US$3/GJ (US$0.35/kg), which is extremely lower than biomass pyrolysis method (in the range of US$8.86/GJ to US$15.52/GJ) and wind‐electrolysis systems and PV‐electrolysis systems (US$20.2/GJ and US$41.8/GJ, respectively). The best feedstock for biomass‐based hydrogen production is identified based on the availability, location of the sources, processes required for the preparation of the feedstock and the total cost of acquiring the feedstock. The cheapest and most abundantly available biomass source in Malaysia is the waste of palm industry. Hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent and palm solid residue could play a crucial role in the energy mix of Malaysia. Malaysia has this great capability to supply about 40% of its annual energy demand by hydrogen production from SCWG of palm solid waste. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Summary Hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuel for a source of clean energy. Thermophilic biohydrogen production is beneficial for obtaining high H2 production yield. This review recapitulates the basic metabolic pathways in bacteria for hydrogen production and the enzymes involved in various thermophilic hydrogen producing pathways in microorganisms. It also focuses on the current status of thermophilic biohydrogen production through fermentation of commercially viable substrates, such as agricultural residues. The use of metabolic engineering to attain certain physiological desirable characteristics in H2‐producing microorganisms, culture conditions, and types of bioreactors to be used are reviewed. Major obstacles in industrial production of biohydrogen like low volumetric hydrogen production and its environmental impact are identified. The review has further identified current limitations in the commercial thermophilic hydrogen production and suggested methods like the use of heat exchangers and effluent recirculation to reduce the production cost.

“…Fermentative biohydrogen production is a less energy consuming process compared to thermochemical and electrochemical processes as it is operated at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure; hence, this process offers a renewable strategy for hydrogen production. Dark fermentation is one of the efficient processes for biohydrogen production as its yields only hydrogen and carbon dioxide; because it is an anaerobic process so there is no oxygen limitation problem (Khanna and Das, 2013). For fermentative biohydrogen production, the substrate must be rich in carbohydrate, must be easily available, and cheap.…”

Production of biohydrogen from distillery effluent was carried out by using Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 13182. The work focuses on optimization of pH, temperature, and state of bacteria, which are the various affecting factors for fermentative biohydrogen production. Results indicates that at 35 °C for suspended cultures, the production was at its maximum (i.e., 91.33 ± 0.88 mL) when compared with other temperatures. At 35 °C and at pH 5 and 6, maximum productions of 117.67 ± 1.45 and 111.67 ± 2.72 mL were observed with no significant difference. When immobilized, Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 13182 was used for biohydrogen production at optimized conditions, production was 186.33 ± 3.17 mL. Hence, immobilized cells were found to be more advantageous for biological hydrogen production over suspended form. Physicochemical analysis of the effluent was conducted before and after fermentation and the values suggested that the fermentative process is an efficient method for biological treatment of wastewater.
