Biohydrogen production from microalgal biomass: energy requirement, CO2 emissio...

Evaluation of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the production of biohydr...

The use of alternative fuels is increasing in order to reduce the energy consumption and emissions. The 2003/30/EC European Directive aims to promote the use of biofuels and other renewable fuels instead of oil derivatives for transport purposes. In long term this is expected to contribute to the fulfillment of European climate change agreements. Therefore, hydrogen appears as a promising alternative fuel and “...

Energy requirement and CO2 emissions of bioH2 production from microalgal biomass

This paper presents the life cycle inventory (LCI) of hydrogen production by Clostridium butyricum fermentation of Scenedesmus obliquus hydrolysate. The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential of H2 production from microalgal biomass and the respective energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the bioconversion process considering the microalga production, acid hydrolysis of S. obliquus biomass, p...

A biorefinery from Nannochloropsis sp. microalga – Energy and CO2 emission and ...

Are microalgae a potential energy source for biofuel production? This paper presents the laboratory results from a Nannochloropsis sp. microalga biorefinery for the production of oil, high-value pigments, and biohydrogen (bioH2). The energy consumption and CO2 emissions involved in the whole process (microalgae cultivation, harvest, dewater, mill, extraction and leftover biomass fermentation) were evaluated. An...

Biological hydrogen production by Anabaena sp. – Yield, energy and CO2 analysis...

This paper presents laboratory results of biological production of hydrogen by photoautrotophic cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. Additional hydrogen production from residual Cyanobacteria fermentation was achieved by Enterobacter aerogenes bacteria. The authors evaluated the yield of H2 production, the energy consumption and CO2 emissions and the technological bottlenecks and possible improvements of the whole energ...

Energetic and environmental evaluation of microalgae biomass fermentation for b...

This paper presents an energetic and environmental evaluation of the fermentative hydrogen production from the sugars of Scenedesmus obliquus biomass hydrolysate by Clostridium butyricum. The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential of H2 production and respective energy consumptions and CO2 emissions in the global fermentation process: hydrolysis of S. obliquus biomass, preparation of the fermen...
