Abstract
Hydrogen as a clean fuel is receiving attention because it generates only water and a small amount of nitrogen oxide upon combustion. Biohydrogen production using microalgae is considered to be a highly promising carbon-neutral technology because it can secure renewable energy while efficiently reducing CO2 emissions. However, previous studies have mainly focused on improving the biological performance of microalgae; these approaches have struggled to achieve breakthroughs in commercialization because they do not heavily consider the complexity of the entire production process with microalgae, including large-scale cultivation, biomass harvest, and biomass storage. This work presents an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art technologies focused on large-scale cultivation systems with efficient downstream processes. Considering the individual processes of biohydrogen production, strategies are discussed to minimize carbon emissions and improve productivity simultaneously. A comprehensive understanding of microalgae-derived biohydrogen production suggests future directions for realizing environmental and economic sustainability.
