Hydrogen production from waste gasification followed by membrane filtration: a review

Waste conversion is a major challenge for energy production in the future circular economy. Waste management aims at producing more energy and recyclable materials, in order to reduce landfill disposal and pollution. Here, membrane technologies are developing for waste conversion to dihydrogen. Here we review techniques of waste conversion such as incineration, pyrolysis, gasification and anaerobic digestion, with focus on waste gasification to produce syngas and then pure hydrogen using a membrane reactor.
