Abstract
Confronted by declining fossil fuels and the need to mitigate the effects of climate change, organic-based biomass is increasingly used to produce renewable energy, and this is receiving significant attention. Biohydrogen production by dark fermentation is a promising alternative to the conventional method since it is non-polluting and energy-saving. In this review paper, a bibliometric analysis was performed to understand the current status of biohydrogen production by dark fermentation. A total of 122 articles were analyzed from PubMed between 2013 and 2022 to understand the current trend in the dark fermentative production of hydrogen. The findings revealed that there had been increasing research in the domain of dark fermentation over the past decade, signifying an increased interest in biohydrogen production through dark fermentation. A significant increase in studies geared towards optimizing the processes, including pretreatment and designing of bioreactors and choosing the right types of biomass, was herein potentially identified. This study concludes that a new perspective on biohydrogen production is needed, particularly focusing on the optimization of the dark fermentative process
