Biological Hydrogen Applications

Biological hydrogen production
Between heaven and earth, the wonder of living things is the wonder of hydrogen production. Biological hydrogen producers use the energy of microorganisms to turn all substances into hydrogen, clean and efficient, and hope for future energy.

Biological hydrogen production methods include photosynthetic biological hydrogen production, fermentation biological hydrogen production, etc. Photosynthetic organisms, such as algae and cyanobacteria, can use light to photosynthesize and release hydrogen in the process. They can cleverly use solar energy to convert water and carbon dioxide, and hydrogen is its by-product. Fermentation biological hydrogen production relies on anaerobic bacteria, using carbohydrates as substrates, to produce hydrogen through fermentation. Both of these have their own strengths. Photosynthetic biological hydrogen production relies on natural light, but is limited by light conditions; fermentation biological hydrogen production conditions are slightly wider, and a variety of substrates can be used.

As for the application of biological hydrogen production, the prospect is broad. First, it can be used as an energy alternative. In today's world, fossil energy is gradually exhausted, and its use is also polluting the environment and causing greenhouse damage. Hydrogen, after combustion, only raw water, no pollution, is an ideal clean energy. Using biological hydrogen production as power, it is feasible for cars and boats, and can be supplied to houses, reducing the dependence on traditional energy sources. Second, it is also useful for industrial production. For example, in the chemical industry, hydrogen is an important raw material, and biological hydrogen production can provide a pure source of hydrogen, which can help chemical production be more environmentally friendly and efficient. Third, in terms of environmental treatment, it can be combined with sewage treatment. Wastewater is rich in fermentable organic matter. With biological hydrogen production technology, it can not only remove pollution, but also produce hydrogen, killing two birds with one stone.

However, the way of biological hydrogen production also has its difficulties. The technology is not perfect, the efficiency needs to be improved, and the cost needs to be reduced. However, with time, with the wisdom of everyone, and diligent research, we will be able to break through the predicament. Although the road of biological hydrogen production is long and difficult, the future is bright, and it will definitely bring benefits to mankind and create a new chapter in energy application.
