Abstract
Key findings
- The system achieved a maximum biohydrogen production rate of 1.2 L/h and a yield of 2.5 mol H2/mol glucose.
- Solar and wind energy inputs were found to have a synergistic effect on biohydrogen production, increasing overall efficiency by 25%.
- The system's overall energy efficiency was improved by 30% through the integration of catalytic reforming.
