Hydrogen has enormous potential as a clean and abundant energy source. All of these factors combine to make hydrogen a potential game-changer in the production of clean energy, if it can be produced safely and sustainably. Moreover, there is no “silver bullet” that can deliver a zero carbon society overnight.

There is a lot of latent energy in our waste. Whether that energy is turned into renewable fuels or clean electricity, it can reduce carbon emissions and resource depletion. It also helps reduce greenhouse gases by converting waste to energy rather than burning it. Another WtE technology involves gasification.
