Book Chapter Description

Hydrogen emerges as a promising solution to address current environmental challenges and future energy demands in cities and industry. Biohydrogen, derived from agroindustrial wastes through microbial activity—particularly lignocellulosic materials—presents a viable avenue for valorizing such resources into green energy. However, despite its potential, real-world industrial exploration of this technology remains limited due to challenges such as relatively low yields and high process costs. This chapter explores the utilization of recalcitrant agroindustrial and urban biomasses for biohydrogen generation, identifies bottlenecks, discusses proposed strategies for enhancing cost-effectiveness, explores stimulation techniques for H-producing microbes, and considers future prospects in the field of microbial hydrogen.
