This book provides an updated knowledge on the biohydrogen production
from industrial and municipal organic waste materials. Microbes are
increasingly being included in the hydrogen based biofuel production and
this book covers the processes and protocols for biohydrogen production.
There is an urgent need of alternative energy research to fulfill the
global energy demand. Biohydrogen is a promising source of sustainable
and clean energy as it harnessed by biological means. Biohydrogen may be
produced by utilizing different waste materials as a substrate, and by
optimization of various parameters of bioreactors such as temperature,
pH, partial pressure etc. The waste materials used in hydrogen
production are categorized as agricultural waste, municipal waste,
industrial waste, and other hazardous wastes. Biohydrogen production
from wastes materials opened a new opportunity for the widespread use of
everlasting renewable energy source. This book is useful for
professional scientists, academicians, biotechnologist and
environmentalist along with research scholars in various biotechnology
and bioenergy industries by addressing the latest research going on in
the field of renewal bioenergy production from waste and their global
impact on the environment.
