| Abstract |
A phenomenal increase in food and food processing wastes is a leading global concern, as over one-third of all food and its derivatives produced globally are discarded. At this juncture, an intriguing solution is to utilize food waste to produce biohydrogen, which may be used as a fuel. The emphasis on the hydrogen economy is an effort to reduce our emissions and decarbonize our energy systems. The conversion of food and food-processing wastes to (bio)hydrogen is possible via biochemical and electrochemical methods. This review examines the primary methodologies for producing hydrogen from food and food-processing industry waste streams, and discusses the associated challenges. The combination of dark and light fermentation, metabolic engineering, and bio-augmentation are considered as approaches for enhancing biohydrogen production. Once the process robustness, quality, and performance of biological and electro-chemical routes for biohydrogen production are optimized and pilot-scale studies are demonstrated, food and food-processing wastes may be plausible candidates for the transition to a sustainable circular hydrogen economy. |
