Fermentative hydrogen generation was studied using palm kernel cake (PKC) as sustainable cellulosic biomass. PKC was subjected to an acid hydrolysis approach using dilute H2SO4 (7% v/v). PKC hydrolysate obtained was then diluted (70%) and used as a substrate for hydrogen generation. Chemical analysi...
