comparison to the conventional hydrogen production methods (thermo-chemical
and electro-chemical), which are dependent on fossil fuels or highly energy inten-
sive. Numerous reports show that each biohydrogen process has its advantages and
disadvantages in terms of technology and productivity. In order to compete with
aforementioned conventional hydrogen production methods, there is a need for in-
tensive work on both enhancement of biohydrogen yield and energy efficiencies
of the respective processes. It is particularly imperative to address several techno-
economic challenges for cost-effective production as well as commercial applica-
tion of biohydrogen.
