Palm oil, the main vegetable oil produced globally, serves diverse purposes, ranging from cooking to the production of processed foods, cosmetics, and biodiesel. Despite contributing significantly to the economies of major producing nations, the escalating production of palm oil raises serious environmental concerns, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and various forms of pollution. Palm oil mill effluent (POME), a byproduct of palm oil extraction, poses a severe environmental threat when left untreated. As an eco-friendly alternative, anaerobic digestion in controlled bioreactors has emerged, offering simultaneous POME treatment and biofuel generation, particularly hydrogen, with high energy efficiency. This review explores the challenges and opportunities associated with biohydrogen production from POME. Key considerations involve optimizing parameters through pretreatments, nanoparticle incorporation, defining optimal bioreactor conditions, determining hydraulic retention times, and integrating multi-stage processes like dark fermentation followed by photofermentation. This review also emphasizes the significance of sustainable practices and economic analyses in shaping the future of hydrogen production from POME, positioning it as a pivotal player in the palm oil industry’s circular economy and the global energy transition.

Biohydrogen is considered a green fuel due to its eco‐friendly nature since it only produces water and energy on combustion. However, their lower yield and production rate is one of the foremost challenges that need an instant sustainable approach. The use of nanotechnology is a potential approach for the enhanced generation of biohydrogen, owing to the significant characteristics of the nanomaterials such as greater specificity, high surface‐area‐to‐volume ratio, better reactivity and dispersibility, enhanced catalytic activity, superb selectivity, greater electron transfer, and better anaerobic microbiota activity. This article explores the recent trends and innovations in the production of biohydrogen from wastewater through the applications of different nanomaterials. The potential of various nanomaterials employed for biohydrogen production from wastewater is evaluated and the impacts of important parameters such as the concentration and size of the nanomaterials, temperature, and pH on the production and yield of biohydrogen are explained in detail. Several pathways involved in the mechanistic approach of biohydrogen generation from wastewater are critically assessed. Lastly, numerous technological challenges are highlighted and recommendations regarding future research are also provided.

Summary At present, the energy requirements of the world majorly depend on fossil fuels, but overconsumption leads to a serious energy crisis, and the greenhouse gases released during the burning of fossil fuel arouse various environmental issues like global warming, acid rain, etc. Biohydrogen is one of the promising fuel among the alternative sources of energy, because it can be derived from renewable sources, cost effective, high energy content, clean, and environmentally friendly fuel. Biohydrogen has been produced by various methods namely thermo‐chemical gasification, solar gasification, electrolysis of water, pyrolysis, steam reforming, and biofermentation. Among them, the biological way of hydrogen production is an environmentally friendly method and does not require any external energy, but beside hydrogen dark fermentation could also generate CO2 and other gases as by‐products, which could contribute to the greenhouse gas augmentation if not well‐controlled. But the quantity of hydrogen production through the photo and dark fermentation method is low, which is also a major constrain for commercialization. In order to overcome this obstacle, many researchers engaged them in the biohydrogen production with nanotechnology which is a potential technique for efficient biohydrogen production. Hence, this review is mainly focused to providing an update of nanotechnology in biohydrogen production and state‐of‐the‐art on its emerging field. In this regard, this review paper highlighted several new findings and achievements in biohydrogen production using both inorganic and organic nanoparticles. Additionally, the synthesis of sustainable and environmentally friendly green nanoparticles in biohydrogen production has been addressed.
