Microalgal Hydrogen Production. 2018. (Comprehensive Series in Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences). illus. XIX, 496 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.

Hydrogen could be the fuel of the future. Some microorganisms can produce hydrogen upon illumination. Biological methods of production could be greener than chemical or physical production methods, but the potential of biological methods is still being harnessed.

This comprehensive book highlights the key steps necessary for future exploitation of solar-light-driven hydrogen production by microalgae. Contributors from key institutions come together to suggest and examine the most significant issues that must be resolved to achieve the goal of practical implementation, while proposing reliable methodologies and approaches to solve such book combines information on theoretical background and experimental know-how. The first part explains the biology and physiology of photobiological hydrogen production. In the second part, developments in biotechnology are examined.
