Biohydrogen production by sequential operation of dark and photo-fermentation processes is a promising method to produce hydrogen from renewable resources, in a sustainable way. In this study, barley straw hydrolysate (BSEI) dark fermenter effluent (DFE) was used as the biomass feedstock for biohydrogen production through photofermentation. Two different dark fermentation effluents were obtained by performing fermentation with or without addition of yeast extract (YE), using hyperthermophilic dark fermentative bacteria, Caldicellusiruptor saccharolyticus. Photofermentative hydrogen production on BSH DFEs was carried out using purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacterial strains Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM1710 and Rhodobacter capsulatus YO3 (an uptake hydrogenase deleted MT1131 strain). The effects of YE addition during dark fermentation and Fe/Mo supplementation to DFEs on subsequent photofermentation were investigated. Presence of YE in DFEs did not influence the photofermentative hydrogen production. Fe/Mo supplementation of the effluents improved the H-2 production on both DFEs, regardless of the strain used. The highest productivity of 0.58 mmol/(L-c.h) was achieved by R. capsulatus YO3 on Fe/Mo supplemented BSH DFE that had no YE. Biohydrogen production on BSH DFE was achieved at a high rate and yield, showing that it can be used as a feedstock for photofermentative hydrogen production.

The aim of this research was to investigate the applicability of different sustainable production measures and demonstrate environmental and economical benefits in a woven fabric manufacturing mill in Bursa, Turkey. As a result of an Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE) evaluation, five sustainable production applications were proposed and implemented to decrease water consumption, wastewater generation, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and salt (NaCl) consumption in the company. As a resu...
Institutional framework for urban development with co-benefits: the Indian experience
Doll, Christopher N. H.; Dreyfus, Magali; Ahmad, Sohail; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
The co-benefits approach has been proposed as a means for mainstreaming environmental concerns into urban development, especially in developing countries. This paper reviews the Indian situation setting out the urban-environmental challenge. National policies related to urban development, climate change and specific sectors are examined and then, with the aid of cases, analysed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of generating co-benefits in the world's second most populous country.
Hyperthermophilic hydrogen production from wastewater biosolids by Caldicellulosiruptor bescii
Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Duran, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2015-09-28)
Wastewater biosolids are abundant renewable resources that are rich in organic matter and offer a low cost potential feedstock for biohydrogen production. Relevant literature indicates that biosolids conversion rates are relatively low and therefore this option is not considered feasible. This study showed that hyperthermophilic bacteria Caldicellulosiruptor bescii could efficiently utilize biosolids as the sole carbon source and produce hydrogen (H-2) for the first time in the literature. Degradability ass...
Life cycle and economic assessment of a solar panel array applied to a short route ferry

This paper was to investigate the potential benefits of solar panel systems if applied for obtaining propulsion power of a short route ferry operating in the Marmara Sea. The life cycle assessment was applied to evaluate the long-term environmental impact of the solar power systems on-board in replace of conventional diesel engine systems. The cost and benefit of such systems were evaluated through the economic assessment where the life cycle cost relative to installation, operation and recycling of the sol...
