This review examines biohydrogen's potential as a renewable energy source, focusing on production technologies, feedstock efficiency, and agricultural applications. Key technologies include dark fermentation, which has been identified as an efficient, environmentally friendly process for biohydrogen production from organic waste and agricultural residues. The study highlights the benefits of biohydrogen for sustainable agriculture, including reduced carbon emissions and energy efficiency. Quantitative data supports biohydrogen's role in decarbonizing agriculture, particularly in energy-intensive activities like irrigation and soil preparation. The findings suggest that biohydrogen can be sustainably integrated into agricultural systems, providing a circular economy solution by converting waste into high-energy, low-emission fuel.
Keywords: sustainability; agricultural energy; biomass conversion; dark fermentation; carbon reduction.
Biohidrogênio como fonte de energia renovável: tecnologias de produção, eficiência de matéria-prima e aplicações na agricultura
RESUMO: Esta revisão examina o potencial do biohidrogênio como fonte de energia renovável, com foco em tecnologias de produção, eficiência de matéria-prima e aplicações agrícolas. As principais tecnologias incluem a fermentação escura, que foi identificada como um processo eficiente e ecologicamente correto para a produção de biohidrogênio a partir de resíduos orgânicos e resíduos agrícolas. O estudo destaca os benefícios do biohidrogênio para a agricultura sustentável, incluindo redução das emissões de carbono e eficiência energética. Os dados quantitativos apoiam o papel do biohidrogênio na descarbonização da agricultura, particularmente em atividades com uso intensivo de energia, como irrigação e preparação do solo. As descobertas sugerem que o biohidrogênio pode ser integrado de forma sustentável aos sistemas agrícolas, fornecendo uma solução de economia circular ao converter resíduos em combustível de alta energia e baixa emissão.
Palavras-chave: sustentabilidade; energia agrícola; conversão de biomassa; fermentação escura; redução de carbono.
