Abstract
Waste-to-hydrogen (WTH) presents an enormous untapped potential to achieve climate change objectives for many countries by transitioning from high CO2 emission waste disposal techniques to producing clean fuel such as green hydrogen. Additionally, WTH can be incorporated with carbon capture to act as a CO2 removal technology. Owing to the critical role this technology can play in achieving climate change objectives, we conducted techno-economic assessment of WTH with carbon capture to analyze its financial viability in various countries. Our analysis shows that deploying WTH with carbon capture results in a levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) range of 4.36-5.99 $/kg.
