    Emerging Trends of Biohydrogen Ecosystem on Environmental Sustainability: a Case Study
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Goren, A. Yagmur; Dincer, Ibrahim
    The greatest threat to humanity is now considered climate change. Biomass as a renewable energy source is treated as one of the clean energy sources that help meet humanity's energy needs. In the transition to a new energy system based on renewable energies, biomass can be crucial. This paper particularly focuses on a new biohydrogen (bioH2) ecosystem development concept for communities to provide global and local sustainable and green energy, considering the biomass-to-bioenergy nexus. In this regard, the paper further discusses the different bioH2 ecosystem concepts and emerging trends where biomass and renewable resources are utilized for energy production. In addition, the bioenergy production potentials of different agricultural crop wastes are evaluated for different end-use purposes like electricity, heat, cogeneration, and transport. In parallel to its high bioenergy yield, the highest total energy (83,686.8 GJ) and gross electricity (4686.5 MWh) production values were observed for the olive cake waste. Moreover, the biomethane and bioethanol production potentials of the crop wastes are evaluated. The highest biomethane yield of 253.7 m3/ha with a total bioenergy production of 40,662.6 GJ was obtained for the maize stover waste, while its bioethanol production was 505.7 L/ha. Consequently, the bioH2 ecosystem with biomass utilization reveales as a sustainable and green way of providing future energy for communities owing to the great potential of crop wastes for bioenergy production.

    Development of a Unique Integrated Bioreactor for Simultaneous Desalination and Bioenergy and Biohydrogen Production
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Yagmur Goren,A.; Dincer,I.; Khalvati,A.
    In the wastewater treatment challenge, it is really essential to develop integrated systems in reducing greenhouse gases, producing green energy and achieving sustainable development. In this regard, an integrated electro-biomembrane reactor was developed and performed in this study for simultaneous biohydrogen (bioH2) production from energetic poplar leaves using dark fermentation (DF) process, conventional H2 production, bioenergy production in the DF process, and saline water desalination in a single system. The results of this study showed that pH was the main controlling parameter in bioH2 production, and the superior production of 40.2 mL/g-biomass was obtained at a pH of 5.5. The maximum current and power density values were 2861.7 mW/m2 and 2819.4 mA/m2 at pH 5.5 under improved conditions. Furthermore, the maximum conventional H2 production was found to be 1341.6 mL using 2 M of KOH solution. Overall, the results further proved that the proposed integrated system can be a sustainable and promising process for industrial applications, considering its high desalination, energy production, and conventional and biological H2 production efficiencies. © 2024 The Authors
