Abstract
In this chapter the analysis of the temperature effect on bioH2 production is taken into account. Temperature is a very important factor, because it can affect the activity of HPB by influencing the activity of some essential enzymes such as hydrogenase for fermentative H2 production [1], but at the same time it determines strongly the overall energy expense, hence the net energy balance. The first section is dedicated to the realization of a test at ambient temperature, which is exposed to natural night and day temperature variations, whereas the second section describes a series of tests at fixed temperatures (ranging from 16 to 50 °C). Each experimental test was conduced in a bench stirred-tank reactor.
