DOIAbstract
Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier that has an important share in the global energy market when produced in conventional ways. Today, most hydrogen production depends on thermochemical processes of fossil sources. The promising search for renewable and sustainable energy to compete with or support fossil fuels has opened a new era for hydrogen production from biological sources. Hydrogen, as an emission-free gas with high gravimetric energy gas, has encouraged studies to investigate new production strategies from living microorganisms. This chapter discusses the scope of the genetic optimization of microalgae for biohydrogen production, using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model organism. © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
