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.
