A system of waste management includes a steam gasification unit to convert municipal solid waste to a syngas. A molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) unit receives the syngas at an anode and an industrial exhaust gas at a cathode to generate electrical energy and separate a first carbon dioxide gas. An oxygen combustion unit receives remaining syngas from the anode and combusts the remaining syngas with oxygen to generate a heated gas stream. A steam Rankine cycle unit captures a first thermal energy from the heated gas stream. A carbon capture unit separates water and a second carbon dioxide gas from a resulting cooled gas stream. An electrolysis unit uses the electrical energy from the MCFC unit to split water into the oxygen gas for the oxygen combustion unit and a second hydrogen gas for the anode.
