7. Processes for bio-hydrogen and methane production from lignocellulosic materials

The abundance of lignocellulosic biomass makes it a viable feedstock for hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) production. Cellulose in lignocellulosic biomass can be saccharified to glucose then fermented to hydrogen and methane. In this section, summarized details on fermentative conversion process for hydrogen, i.e., dark fermentation and photo-fermentation, methane production, and AD are given.
