Introduction
• The limited fossil fuel- the use of hydrogen is an
attractive alternate source.
• Advantages- environmentally clean, renew ability,
liberates large amount of energy and easily converted to
electricity by fuel cells, only waste product being water.
• The existing commercialized physicochemical hydrogen
production processes are not economic.
• Biological hydrogen production processes are found to
be more environment friendly and less energy intensive.
• Microbial production of H2 using variety of substrates has
gained substantial interest in recent years (Nath and
Das, 2004).
• Microbial H2 production has the dual benefits- generating
a clean fuel and reducing waste.
