Evaluation of Biohydrogen Production Potential from Sewage Sludge

Owing to limited resources and emission of pollutants, hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen is a clean energy that produces water instead of greenhouse gases when combusted. Furthermore, hydrogen has a high-energy yield (about 2.75 times that of hydrocarbon fuels). Biological hydrogen production from biomass is considered one of the most promising alternatives for sustainable green energy production and important solution to a sustainable power supply and is nowadays being seen as the versatile fuel of the future, with potential to replace fossil fuels. This process is able to solve two problems: the reduction of pollution from the uncontrolled degradation of waste and the generation of a clean alternative fuel.
