This work aimed to compare the environmental impact and energy performance of rice husk utilization for biohydrogen production via different pathways using parameters and processes applicable in Southeast Asian countries. Six scenarios were developed by combining each selected biohydrogen production process - electrolysis, gasification and dark fermentation, with different energy production technology. The emission values and energy demand varies depending on the scenarios studied, highlighting the effect of different efficiencies of each biohydrogen production technology. The dark fermentation route has the least environmental impact and the highest energy conversion efficiency. Rice husk used in a co-generation plant to supply process energy creates a purely green technology. Biomass energy ratio provides a basis for the performance of each pathway in terms of the conversion efficiency, emissions and energy demand. The sensitivity analysis is used to identify key parameters and processes to improve the dark fermentation technology.

The global shift towards renewable energy sources highlights the urgent need for sustainable hydrogen production, with photo-fermentative hydrogen evolution (PFHP) emerging as a promising solution. This review addresses the challenges and opportunities in optimizing PFHP, specifically the role of photosynthetic bacteria (PBS) in utilizing sunlight for hydrogen production. We focus on the key factors influencing PFHP, including light intensity, reactor design, substrate selection, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, metal ions, temperature, pH, charge transfer and genetic engineering.

The management of wastewater and agricultural wastes has been limited by the separate treatment processes, which exacerbate pollution and contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Given the energy demands and financial burdens of traditional treatment facilities, there is a pressing need for technologies that can concurrently treat solid waste and generate energy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing bioelectricity and biohydrogen through the microbial treatment of blackwater and agricultural waste using a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC).

Background: Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a facultatively anaerobic thermophile that is able to produce hydrogen (H) gas from the oxidation of carbon monoxide through the water-gas shift reaction when grown under anaerobic conditions. The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is driven by a carbon monoxide dehydrogenase-hydrogenase enzyme complex. Previous experiments exploring hydrogenogenesis with P.

Energy from renewable resources has been growing in popularity, which ultimately helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and contaminants. Since hydrogen (H) has a higher combustion production of energy than hydrocarbon fuels, it has been identified as a clean, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy source. There are several benefits to producing biohydrogen (bioH) from renewable sources, including lower cost and increased sustainability.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is expected to play a critical role in achieving the goal of biomass-to-bioenergy conversion because of its wide distribution and low price. Biomass fermentation is a promising method for the sustainable generation of biohydrogen (bioH) from the renewable feedstock. Due to the inherent resistant structure of biomass, LCB needs to be pretreated to improve its digestibility and utilization.
