The concept of waste-to-energy (WtE) is not new, but recent advancements in biohydrogen process have opened up new possibilities for its application in circular economies. Traditionally, WtE processes involve the combustion of waste to produce heat and electricity. However, these methods often result in the release of harmful pollutants and are not entirely efficient. Biohydrogen process using hydrogen fuel cells offers a cleaner alternative by utilizing waste-derived hydrogen as a fuel source. This process involves the conversion of organic waste—such as food waste, and sewage sludge—into hydrogen through processes like gasification or anaerobic digestion. The hydrogen produced is then used in fuel cells to generate electricity, with water as the only emission. By converting waste into a valuable energy resource, hydrogen fuel cells offer a promising solution to the twin challenges of waste management and carbon reduction. According to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), biohydrogen from organic materials could potentially supply up to 10% of the world’s hydrogen needs by 2050.
