Currently, large quantities of hydrogen are produced using classical fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the finite quantities of these resources have compelled the global community to look into using more sustainable and environmentally friendly resources such as bio-based waste. There are several approaches, to convert biomass to hydrogen, among which the thermochemical and biological processes are considered as the most important ones. The aim of this review paper is twofold, namely, (a) to evaluate hydrogen production and biomass processing methods to give a better insight into their potential merits and identify gaps for sustainable hydrogen generation, and (b) to evaluate current and future opportunities in membrane technology for hydrogen separation and purification from biomass processing. By fulfilling these gaps, the objectives of economical, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly resources for hydrogen production and separation can be recommended. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85084221817&doi=10.1016%2fj.ijhydene.2020.04.009&partnerID=40&md5=c8dc39151ea7fd62356e166f4f591be9 id_number: 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2020.04.009 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Hydrogen Energy volume: 45 number: 30 pagerange: 15166-15195 refereed: TRUE issn: 03603199 citation: Shahbaz, M. and Al-Ansari, T. and Aslam, M. and Khan, Z. and Inayat, A. and Athar, M. and Naqvi, S.R. and Ahmed, M.A. and McKay, G.
