Revisión del potencial de obtención de biohidrógeno a partir de microalgas en Colombia

Palabras clave: Biocombustibles, biofotólisis, fermentación oscura, hidrógeno, microalgas.

Resumen

El hidrógeno es un vector energético indispensable pensando en una transición a un sistema descarbonizado y las microalgas son uno de los recursos más prometedores para su producción. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión de estudios realizados para la producción de biohidrógeno a partir de microalgas para determinar y evaluar los diferentes métodos de producción y aquellos factores que los afectan, así como sus limitaciones, considerando investigaciones realizadas en todo el mundo y especialmente en Colombia. Los resultados han demostrado que la fermentación oscura tiene varias ventajas en comparación con otros métodos: no requiere grandes espacios de cultivo, la producción de hidrógeno es rápida y eficiente, y se pueden obtener subproductos valiosos. Esto convierte al biohidrógeno en una alternativa energética atractiva para el país.
