• Gensol Engineering Limited, has secured a contract to develop India’s first bio-hydrogen prtoject.
• Biohydrogen is a type of renewable hydrogen fuel produced from biological processes.
• The project will convert 25 tons of bio-waste into 1 ton of hydrogen per day.
• Biohydrogen is generated naturally through the breakdown of organic materials (biomass) by microorganisms or through photosynthesis in certain algae and bacteria.
As a sustainable energy source, biohydrogen can be produced using methods like
Dark fermentation: Bacteria break down organic matter without light, producing hydrogen.
Photofermentation: Certain bacteria use sunlight to convert organic acids into hydrogen.
Biophotolysis: Algae split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen using sunlight.
