Abstract
The urgent need for a cleaner, more sustainable energy source has been sparked by the fast-dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the catastrophic consequences of climate change. The thriving market of hydrogen as a fruitful alternative is experiencing as an important environmentally friendly industrial feedstock. There are significant techno-financial and environmental obstacles to the commercialization of hydrogen as a fuel. Microalgal biohydrogen generation has drawn increasing attention as a means of overcoming these difficulties. Different metabolic pathways can be used to make microalgal biohydrogen, but a concise explanation of the economics and technical aspects of improving microalgae-driven biohydrogen generation is highly needed. Thus, assured prolonged sustainability can be achieved by improvising economical hydrogen generation technologies through the amendment of vital trial and error factors, possible gene-level, metabolic engineering modification and AIML employment.
