In some areas, the problem of wind and solar power curtailment is prominent. Hydrogen energy has the advantage of high storage density and a long storage time. Multi-energy hybrid systems including renewable energies, batteries and hydrogen are designed to solve this problem.

Bio-hydrogen production via dark fermentation of low-value waste is a potent and simple mean of recovering energy, maximizing the harvesting of reducing equivalents to produce the cleanest fuel amongst renewables. Here, an alternative application of green wastes, low-value compost and intermediate products (partially composted but unsuitable for completing the process) is studied, pointing at the autochthonous microbial consortium as an already selected source of implementation for biomass degradation and hydrogen production.

Based on a review of the literature, researchers synthesize some aspects which represent in their understanding the essence of the circular economy concept. While in no way intended to be absolute, definitive and final, these aspects represent a level of understanding of the concept at this specific moment.

The need for green hydrogen is likely to require massive expansion of renewable energy plants. Researchers have identified a gap between political action, technological developments, and expertise from the social sciences and humanities as the world transitions from fossil fuels to green hydrogen. They argue that the respective funding and research needs to be scaled up before energy infrastructures are built to forestall possible long-lasting socio-ecological mismatches.
