Abstract
Energy generation or green energy generation from waste materials is a necessity for the sustainable development of our society. In the last two decades, there is substantial scientific and technological development in waste to energy generation research. This chapter discussed the various aspects of the waste to energy generations technologies such as the hydrogen/energy generation from the waste materials. The chapter enlisted the advanced in the technology's development of waste to energy generation. It emphasized the most sustainable way to treat waste and their current state of the art in the waste to energy generation. This chapter also includes the biological, biochemical, and various fuel cells technologies for waste to energy generation. This chapter summarized the various state of the art of hydrogen production technologies from the waste materials or wastewater and emphasized the applications of nanotechnology in the cathode development for the bio-electrochemical system.
