The interest in microalgae for wastewater treatment and liquid bio-fuels production (i.e. biodiesel and bioethanol) is steadily increasing due to the energy demand of the ultra-modern technological world. The associated biomass and by-product residues generated from these processes can be utilized as a feedstock in anaerobic fermentation for the production of gaseous bio-fuels. In this context, dark fermentation coupled with anaerobic digestion can be a potential technology for the production of hydrogen and methane from these residual algal biomasses. The mixture of these gaseous bio-fuels, known as hythane, has superior characteristics and is increasingly regarded as an alternative to fossil fuels. This review provides the current developments achieved in the conversion of algal biomass to bio-hythane (H+CH).
由于超现代技术世界的能源需求，人们对微藻用于废水处理和液体生物燃料生产（即生物柴油和生物乙醇）的兴趣正在稳步增加。这些工艺产生的相关生物质和副产物残渣可用作厌氧发酵的原料，以生产气态生物燃料。在这种情况下，与厌氧消化相结合的黑暗发酵可能是从这些剩余藻类生物质中生产氢气和甲烷的一种有潜力的技术。这些气态生物燃料的混合物，称为合成气，具有优越的特性，越来越被视为化石燃料的替代品。本文综述了将藻类生物质转化为生物合成气（H+CH）的最新进展。
