Review of Hydrogen Production Using Organic Waste Materials: Role of Industry 4.0 in Waste Valuation
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00367-z
Abstract
Attempts are made to utilise waste organic biomass to produce fuels, chemicals, energy, power, and by-products for many
mercantile applications. Hydrogen is a demanding fuel with the highest calorifi c value, and conventional chemical processes
have raised specifi c environmental concerns. Alternatively, such biodegradable organic waste can be managed better with
fermentation technologies and also for producing hydrogen, which is more environmentally friendly and cost-eff ective. Given
environmental concerns, retrofi tting the current chemical industry 3.0 with sustainable product management is vital. This
review communication provides crucial information about the chemical industry’s restructuring within the scope of using
the circular economy principle in circular chemistry in the burgeoning industry 4.0 scenario. It also focuses on recovering
energy from waste materials, a potential strategy for mitigating environmental eff ects. More case studies utilising organic
waste as feedstock in bio-refi nery processes will be of interest in future to attain environmental sustainability, which is also
highlighted in parallel.
