Integrative biohydrogen- and biomethane-producing bioprocesses for comprehensive production of biohythane

초록

The production of biohythane, a combination of energy-dense hydrogen and methane, from the anaerobic digestion of low-cost organic wastes has attracted attention as a potential candidate for the transition to a sustainable circular economy. Substantial research has been initiated to upscale the process engineering to establish a hythane-based economy by addressing major challenges associated with the process and product upgrading. This review provides an overview of the feasibility of biohythane production in various anaerobic digestion systems (single-stage, dual-stage) and possible technologies to upgrade biohythane to hydrogen-enriched renewable natural gas. The main goal of this review is to promote research in biohythane production technology by outlining critical needs, including meta-omics and metabolic engineering approaches for the advancements in biohythane production technology.
