Biohydrogen Production - Trends, Challenges in Bio Hydrogen Generation

You are at: Oilgae Blog.

This is an excellent paper on Biohydrogen production. Some of the topics discussed are:

1. Nitrogenase-Mediated Hydrogen Production.
2. Fermentative Hydrogen Production.
3. Biophotolysis of Water
4. Biophotolytic Hydrogen: Goals and Impacts
5. Engineering Oxygen-Tolerant, Efficient Hydrogenases.
6. Designing Microorganisms Optimized for Hydrogen Production.
7. Gaps in Scientific Understanding
8. Understanding biophotolysis well enough to model hydrogenase structure and function, regulatory and metabolic networks.
9. Extent of natural diversity among hydrogenases and hydrogen-producing organisms
10. How do we overcome the oxygen-sensitivity problem of hydrogenases?
11. Key capabilities needed to address many of the gaps in current understanding of biophotolytic hydrogen production include developing microbial hosts to produce hydrogenase enzymes, screening large numbers of enzymes for desired functionalities, large-scale molecular profiling to provide a global view of hydrogen production, in vivo visualization of hydrogenase structure and activity, modeling of regulatory and metabolic networks, and metabolic engineering (see Table: Roadmap for Development of Biophotolyic Hydrogen Technologies, and Table: Biophotolytic Hydrogen Production Challenges, Scale, and Complexity).

And more...a very important white paper!
