This review is the first to present an integrated techno-economic and environmental feasibility assessment of producing hydrogen from industrial wastewater in Bangladesh, directly linking high-strength effluent management with clean energy generation. Industrial wastewater, often untreated and rich in biodegradable organics, presents an underexploited feedstock that can simultaneously mitigate pollution, reduce freshwater consumption, and generate clean energy. However, such integrated analyses remain scarce, particularly in developing economies where industrial effluent discharge is a major sustainability challenge.
