Exploring the performance of biocatalysts for biohydrogen production

Abstract

Biohydrogen production, a feasible and environmentally friendly energy source, has advanced, notably in biocatalysts. This research carefully examines biocatalysts for biohydrogen synthesis and their recent advances. The debate begins with assessing biohydrogen's potential as an energy source and biocatalysts' importance in hydrogen production efficiency. Historical records reveal conventional methods and their limits, revealing novel microbial strains. The use of genetically modified organisms has altered hydrogen production by developing many methods and strains. Enzymatic mechanisms, especially novel enzymes and combinations, are crucial to hydrogen production. A multidisciplinary approach using microbiological, genetic, and enzymatic approaches can reveal synergistic effects and improve results. The techno-economic analysis compares the financial impacts and economic viability of these novel biocatalysts to conventional methods. Although there have been some improvements, scalability and safety issues remain unsolved. Future biocatalyst trends, developments, and wider implications for sustainable energy generation have been explored. The article examines the significance of these improvements and how biocatalysts can impact biohydrogen production.
