That was the stark message of the Climate Change Committee in its sixth carbon budget. The 10 Point Plan, the national infrastructure strategy, the climate change committee's sixth carbon budget and the Treasury's interim report on its Net Zero Review. Landfill suffers from methane emissions as waste degrades.

As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. But in order to curb steel’s carbon emissions, the sector will have to transform how the material is traditionally made. The furnaces that melt iron ore to make steel consume vast amounts of coal.

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. Still, there is potential for clean - low- or zero-carbon - hydrogen to take off, energy experts believe. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash.

Early pioneers of these hydrogen-from-waste technologies such as Ways2H, SGH2 Energy (SGH2) and Standard Hydrogen say not only are they making carbon-free, energy-rich fuel, their approaches also will divert mountains of trash from landfills and waterways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. There are other ways to make hydrogen.

Landfill waste is not just unsightly, it also poses risks to humans from harmful chemical leaks and has negative effects on the environment. Methane, which is released as organic matter in landfill decomposes, traps up to 20 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Refrain from using single plastic water bottles.
