Abstract

Recent technological developments have led to a significant increase in energy consumption in daily life. The search for alternative means of energy production has become an important task for applied sciences and modern technology. Hydrogen technology has great potential as a source of clean energy. The production of green hydrogen is a desirable and beneficial way to contribute to the decarbonization of the energy sector. In response to the demand for environmentally friendly and economically feasible approaches, biohydrogen production from waste materials has recently attracted interest. Waste materials from industrial or municipal production can be used as low-cost substrates for biohydrogen production through microbial degradation. Green energy needs could be met through a form of sustainable development that moves hand in hand with the harnessing of the microbial potential of waste biomass. Reuse of waste materials leads to pollution reductions and energy recycling. The aim of this review is to provide informative insights for researchers and engineers to help them better understand microbial biohydrogen production from low-cost waste substrates, such as industrial wastewater and waste activated sludge.
