Abstract: This paper discusses the characteristics of waste treatment by biological hydrogen production. The merits and demerits of different processes and the possibilities of practical application are also discussed. Anaerobic fermentation is the most potential technology，and can be used in commercial production. Storage of hydrogen is introduced. The demand of fuel cells for biological hydrogen production technology and the feasibility of application to fuel cells are discussed. The prospects of biological hydrogen production processes are presented.
