If this produces co2, then doesn’t this make the entire case for hydrogen pointless?

- a3w 4y agoIt does produce CO2. They just hope to store or contain it. Please don't. You can generate the H2 once. We need the infrastructure to produce our worldwide energy demand regeneratively anyway, so why take this risk?
- jojobas 4y agoIsn't there enough energy in hydrocarbons to do (C₂H)ₙ-> H₂ + H₂O + C?
- thombat 4y agoWhere did the oxygen come from? Presumably can't be too readily available to avoid heading straight to a second water & carbon monoxide.
- nightfly 4y agoThis isn't the only way to generate/extract hydrogen
- jonplackett 4y agoSorry I just meant isn’t it pointless - in this case
- linuxftw 4y agoNo. Not every energy innovation is concerned with CO2 production. This is a way to extract more energy from the earth. I expect the vast, vast majority of our energy is going to be derived from fossil fuels for the next 2-300 years.
