a b s t r a c tThe start-up of continuous biohydrogen fermentations is a complex procedure and a key to acceptable hydrogen production performance and successful long-term operation. In this review article, the experiences gained and lessons learned from relevant literature studies dealing with various aspects of H 2 producing bioreactor start-up are comprehensively surveyed. Firstly, the importance of H 2 -forming biosystem start-up including its main steps is outlined. Afterwards, the role of main influencing factors and methods (e.g. strain selection, seed pretreatment and inocula stimulation, switch-over time, bioreactor design, operating conditions) in avoiding the deterioration of starting a reactor is analyzed and presented in detail. Finally, the so far suggested applicable start-up strategies and the corresponding findings are critically discussed pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy.

“…The "second generation" of biofuels are mainly produced from renewable non-food biomass resources, particularly lignocellulosic materials, because these are the most abundant (and cheap) types of non-food materials available from plants. The production of a number of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass has been described, including bioethanol (Ogier et al 1999;Galbo et al 2002;Didderen et al 2008;Balat 2011), biohydrogen (Guo et al 2010;Cheng et al 2011), biomass pellets (Gil et al 2010;Ståhl et al 2011), and biomethane (Ward et al 2008;Chandra et al 2012;Barakat et al 2012). …”

Significance statement: In this original paper, we present the biochemical composition and potential methane production from the anaerobic digestion of each type of lignocellulosic waste from a banana cultivar (Williams Cavendish: triploid Musa AAA group). These wastes are usually abandoned in the plantation after the fruits have been harvested. There is great interest in obtaining energy from this generally neglected biomaterial, particularly in the contexts of global warming and sustainable development. 2Abstract: We studied banana lignocellulosic biomass (BALICEBIOM) that is abandoned after fruit harvesting, and assessed its biochemical methane potential, because of its potential as an energy source. We monitored biogas production from six morphological parts (MPs) of the "Williams Cavendish" banana cultivar using a modified operating procedure (KOP) using KOH. Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production was measured using high performance liquid chromatography. The bulbs, leaf sheaths, petioles-midribs, leaf blades, rachis stems, and floral stalks gave total biogas production of 256, 205, 198, 126, 253, and 221 mL g −1 dry matter, respectively, and total biomethane production of 150, 141, 127, 98, 162, and 144 mL g −1 , respectively. The biogas production rates and yields depended on the biochemical composition of the BALICEBIOM and the ability of anaerobic microbes to access fermentable substrates. There were no significant differences between the biogas analysis results produced using KOP and gas chromatography. Acetate was the major VFA in all the MP sample culture media.The bioconversion yields for each MP were below 50%, showing that these substrates were not fully biodegraded after 188 d.The estimated electricity that could be produced from biogas combustion after fermenting all of the BALICEBIOM produced annually by the Cameroon Development Corporation-Del Monte plantations for 188 d is approximately 10.5×10 6 kW h (which would be worth 0.80-1.58 million euros in the current market). This bioenergy could serve the requirements of about 42000 people in the region, although CH 4 productivity could be improved.

“…Various pretreatment processes of lignocellulosic feedstock [14] Physical pretreatment consists of mechanical disruption of lignocelluloses, which is an environmentally friendly process. This process increases the surface area of biomass and decreases the crystallinity of cellulose, but it does not cause an expensive mass loss [25].…”

“…The first generation biofuels are presently produced from sugars, starches and vegetable oils, but these products have several issues: 1) their availability is limited by soil fertility and per-hectare yield; and 2) their contribution to savings of CO2 emissions and fossil energy consumption are limited by high energy input for their cultivations and conversions [12][13][14]. However, lignocellulosic biomass seems to be more attractive because 1) it is the most widespread renewable source available on earth (overall chemical energy stored in biomass by plants is approximately 6-7 times of total human energy consumption annually [15]); 2) it is locally available in many countries; and more importantly 3) it does not compete with food or food industries [12].…”
