“…However, the production of hydrogen through this technique is little explored, being first reported in 2018 from the experimental evaluation of the technique using empirical modeling [78], and the later reports of the use of steam reforming of POME for the production of hydrogen belong to the same research group [30,31]. The technical-economic viability of producing hydrogen from the steam reforming of POME was attested by [79].…”

“…Wee [79] offers a comprehensive exploration of the economics involved in biohydrogen production, particularly emphasizing different pathways. In their analysis, the Total Fixed Capital Investment (TFCI) for the production plant is quantified at US$ 12,745, with 71.71% attributed to total direct costs and the remaining 28.29% to total indirect costs.…”

“…Moving to operational aspects, the Total Fixed Operating Cost (OPEX) is calculated in detail, amounting to US$ 1860, complemented by a total variable operating cost of US$ 3670. The general plant overhead cost is US$ 650 million, contributing to a total OPEX of US$ 6180 [79]. These quantifications provide a detailed breakdown of the financial considerations involved in the operational phase of biohydrogen production.…”

Palm oil, the main vegetable oil produced globally, serves diverse purposes, ranging from cooking to the production of processed foods, cosmetics, and biodiesel. Despite contributing significantly to the economies of major producing nations, the escalating production of palm oil raises serious environmental concerns, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and various forms of pollution. Palm oil mill effluent (POME), a byproduct of palm oil extraction, poses a severe environmental threat when left untreated. As an eco-friendly alternative, anaerobic digestion in controlled bioreactors has emerged, offering simultaneous POME treatment and biofuel generation, particularly hydrogen, with high energy efficiency. This review explores the challenges and opportunities associated with biohydrogen production from POME. Key considerations involve optimizing parameters through pretreatments, nanoparticle incorporation, defining optimal bioreactor conditions, determining hydraulic retention times, and integrating multi-stage processes like dark fermentation followed by photofermentation. This review also emphasizes the significance of sustainable practices and economic analyses in shaping the future of hydrogen production from POME, positioning it as a pivotal player in the palm oil industry’s circular economy and the global energy transition.

“…Also, group of researchers like Hajizadeh et al [4], and Xiao et al [5] had looked into the integration of carbon capture and storage system (CCS) for some pathways. A techno-economic and environmental analysis to determine whether a hydrogen generation pathway is economically and environmentally viable have also been conducted [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

This study aimed to develop a superstructure to determine the hydrogen pathway based on optimum economic and environmental performances. Some potential biomass waste for hydrogen synthesis were considered. Two case studies were conceptualized to evaluate the mathematical model. Case 1 considered the economic performance of the model with the objective function of minimizing total cost. Case 2 was a multi-objective scenario which examined both the economic and environmental performances of the model. For case 1, steam gasification of palm kernel shell was chosen as the optimal hydrogen synthesis pathway with the total cost targeted as $ 0.64 million per year. For case 2, an annual total cost of $ 0.68 million was recorded. Besides, 4438572.96 kg CO2-eq was released per kg of H2 produced.
