Abstract: As hydrogen combustion process does not produce CO2, hydrogen is called the "energy carrier" and considered as a kind of clean energy, and can easily be applied to the process of the power generation of the fuel cells. This paper mainly introduces the different ways of hydrogen production from biomass, including photolysis of water, photo fermentation, dark fermentation and two phases fermentation, and then the advantages and disadvantages of each method are introduced. In the end, the development direction of the hydrogen production is discussed.
