Bioreactors may enhance hydrogen production and CO2 capture using depleted oil reservoirs, suggesting a sustainable energy solution.

Hydrogen production from residual hydrocarbons could reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and enhance renewable energy sources.
The process utilizes indigenous microbiota for dark fermentation, producing hydrogen while capturing carbon dioxide effectively.
Utilization of depleted oil reservoirs as bioreactors requires careful management of risks like CO2 and H2S production during the process.
Economic viability hinges on overcoming operational challenges, suggesting the need for innovative biotechnological strategies.

Sampaio et al. (2025) studied this question.
