Produktbeschreibung

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 issues. Approaches in this field tend to be interdisciplinary, hence this 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. This book will be an indispensable resource for advanced students, researchers and professionals working across the field of bioenergy.
