State-of-the-art and perspectives of hydrogen generation from waste plastics

Waste plastic utilization and hydrogen production present significant economic and social challenges but also offer opportunities for research and innovation. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements and innovations in hydrogen generation coupled with waste plastic recycling. It explores various strategies, including pyrolysis, gasification, aqueous phase reforming, photoreforming, and electrocatalysis. Pyrolysis and gasification in combination with catalytic reforming or water gas-shift are currently the most feasible and scalable technologies for hydrogen generation from waste plastics, with pyrolysis operating in an oxygen-free environment and gasification in the presence of…
