Abstract
This chapter introduces biohydrogen production using microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). In this process, wastewater and lignocellulosic agricultural waste (biomass) are used as feedstocks to produce biohydrogen. Hydrogen is combustible due to its high calorific value and has a high energy yield. The MEC process has shown improvement in the deprivation of intricate organic material for biohydrogen production while reducing the environmentally harmful substances and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Therefore, MEC biohydrogen is one of the cleanest forms of energy produced from renewable resources, a cost-effective and carbon-neutral method. This chapter introduces the integrated MEC system with dark fermentation (DF) to increase the yield of biohydrogen production.
