ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen by batch process capable of replacing the existing complex continuous organic waste treatment system by using pretreated organic waste not only as a substrate but also an inoculum. According to the present invention, the existing complex continuous process can be changed into a simple batch process, thereby reducing the installment costs and operational costs. It is possible to obtain economic operation because a long initial start-up period is not required.
