Abstract
The transition to sustainable energy systems necessitates innovative approaches for clean fuel generation, with green hydrogen emerging as a promising vector. This study explores the potential of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) for producing green hydrogen from industrial wastewater, leveraging the dual benefits of wastewater treatment and renewable energy generation. A detailed investigation into the electrochemical performance, microbial activity, and hydrogen yield is conducted using simulated industrial wastewater compositions. The system efficiency is evaluated under varying operational conditions, including pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and applied voltage. Simulation results demonstrate significant hydrogen production rates, with notable COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) removal efficiencies, indicating a synergistic potential for environmental remediation and energy recovery. The study highlights the feasibility of integrating MEC technology into industrial effluent management systems as a decentralized and eco-friendly hydrogen generation strategy.
