Abstract

Production of biohydrogen has the potential to be a renewable alternative to current technologies. There are varieties of technologies for biological hydrogen production mechanisms including biophotolysis, photo fermentation, dark fermentation and hybrid biohydrogen production by electrochemical processes. In these studies, a review on the recent developments of biohydrogen production is presented. First, the theoretical principles of biophotolysis by cyanobacteria and green micro algae, as well as direct and indirect of biophotolysis process on hydrogen production are described. Secondly, practical aspects and fundamental of biological hydrogen production processes by photo and dark fermentation are reviewed. This work also involved comparison of the maximum H2 yield, bacterial strains, operating condition, suitable substrates, and mathematical models for fermentative hydrogen production. A new hybrid biological hydrogen production processes by using the electrochemical process is then proposed. This study can also be used to improve the basic and current knowledge about the performance of the biophotolysis, fermentative and electrochemical process in producing hydrogen gas as the alternate fuel.
