Scientists in Bangladesh are exploring how to use photo catalisation to convert urban biomass into hydrogen . The researchers claimed the process will enable the country to convert over 227 ##0 mt of annual waste into 18.2 million tons of eco - friendly energy , significantly reducing Bangladesh 's reliance on energy imports . Research on the project began in 2017 , with scientists claiming the technology will be capable of producing hydrogen by 2021 . Bangladesh 's minister for science and technology , Yeafesh Osman , said the country would consider supporting a large - scale hydrogen fuel project if the technology proves to be commercially successful .
