RESEARCH GOALS
To fully explore the effect of hydrogen supplementation on biomass production of phototrophic organisms, the research goals of the project are to:
1. Determine the biochemical changes and productivity of Synechocystis sp. after supplementing hydrogen in a batch system.
2. Understand the mechanism of hydrogen uptake and the role of light requirements.
3. Evaluate the effect of hydrogen supplementation on different algal species.
4. Scale-up the production system into a continuous reactor and posteriorly into an industrial setup.
5. Perform a techno-economic analysis of the production process.
