Fossil fuels, despite causing serious environmental pollution, represent the most important source of energy supporting the current economic activity. Easily extractable fossil fuel reserves are depleted sometime in the next 50 years, necessitating the development of alternative renewable energy sources that pose little or no environmental hazards (Hallenbeck et al. 2009). Hydrogen is currently being actively investigated as a promising renewable energy carrier since it produces only water when combusted, and thus engenders no environmental pollution (Hawkes et al. 2002; Kapdan and Kargi 2006; Hallenbeck 2011a). Biological hydrogen production is more advantageous than other methods since it is potentially less energy intensive, being carried out at ambient temperature and pressure (Kraemer and Bagley 2007; Nishio and Nakashimada 2004).
