The functional unit of 1 kg of H2was adopted in the system boundaries, which includes 5 processes namely biomass collection and pre-treatment units (P1), biochar catalyst preparation using fast pyrolysis unit (P2), two-stage pyrolysis-gasification unit (P3), products separation unit (P4), and H2distribution to downstream plants (P5). Based on the life-cycle assessment, the hot spots in this process were identified, the sequence was as follows: P4 \> P2 \> P1 \> P3 \> P5. The end-point impacts score for the process was found to be 93.4017 mPt. From benchmarking analysis, the proposed straw-derived biochar catalyst was capable of offering almost similar catalytic performance with other metal-based catalysts with a lower environmental impact. {\^A}{\copyright} 2021 Elsevier Ltd}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85113366725&doi=10.1016\%2fj.biortech.2021.125796&partnerID=40&md5=27b6ff36459d1eded0e95e25ea81d881}, keywords = {Benchmarking; Catalysts; Gasification; Hydrogen production; Pyrolysis; Straw, Bio chars; Catalytic gasification; Environmental footprints; Functional units; H-2/ production; Lifecycle analysis; Pre-treatments; System boundary; Wheat straws; ]+ catalyst, Life cycle, biochar; carbon; charcoal; hydrogen; metal; unclassified drug; biochar; hydrogen, biochar; biomass; catalyst; life cycle analysis; pyrolysis; straw; wheat, acidification; Article; benchmarking; biomass; catalysis; catalyst; climate change; ecosystem; ecotoxicity; environmental impact; gasification; greenhouse effect; life cycle assessment; nonhuman; polymerization; public health; pyrolysis; separation technique; biomass; wheat, Biomass; Charcoal; Hydrogen; Pyrolysis; Triticum}, author = {Loy, A.
