Zusammenfassung:A method of increasing hydrogen production from an enclosed bioreactor comprising: providing at least one anode and at least one cathode connected to an interior of the enclosed bioreactor; providing a baseline reaction mixture in the enclosed bioreactor, wherein the baseline reaction mixture includes an organic substrate, water, and a baseline amount of at least one microorganism; measuring a baseline amount of hydrogen in a baseline gas sample of gasses collected from the enclosed bioreactor; increasing hydrogen production from the enclosed bioreactor from the baseline amount of hydrogen to a production amount of hydrogen by applying a potential difference between the at least one anode and the at least one cathode; and harvesting the hydrogen from the enclosed bioreactor at a hydrogen harvesting rate by separating the hydrogen from other gasses and transferring the hydrogen into a hydrogen storage container.
