Energy shortage and environmental pollution have become the two major challenges nowadays, driven by the carbon-peak and carbon-neutral target, the develop of hydrogen energy has become global research hot spot. Compared with the usage of primary energy to produce hydrogen, reforming the huge amount of organic waste generated by industry and daily life to produce hydrogen can not only reduce the use of fossil energy, solve environmental problems, but also produce clean energy, which is one of the most important ways to prepare green hydrogen. This review reports the research progress on hydrogen production from the catalytic reforming of three typical organic wastes: waste cooking oil, waste plastics and oxygenated volatile organic compounds. The reforming process, catalyst preparation and hydrogen production performance are emphatically discussed. The key common problems of catalytic reforming of different wastes, such as the utilization of carbon deposit and carbon, regulation of catalyst structure with high activity, catalyst regeneration and recycling are also discussed. Finally, based on the challenges and development trends in this research field, the prospect of practical and industrial hydrogen production from reforming organic waste is analyzed.
