This research aimed to study the production of biological hydrogen using banana waste as renewable biomass and was carried out by anaerobic fermentation. Clostridium acetobutylicum MTCC 11274 was used as micro-organism for the hydrogen generation. The substrate were hydrolysis by diluted 5% H2SO4 and 5 N NaOH by acidic and alkali pre-treatment method respectively. The volume of gas produced was calculated by the water displacement method. Keywords: Biological hydrogen, banana waste, anaerobic fermentation, Clostridium acetobutylicum, water displacement method
