A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash. Hydrogen from waste is an even smaller fish than hydrogen from renewable energy.
