there is a natural gas variant of that where instead of using steam in the steam reformation process to generate hydrogen and CO2 you use more of the energy contained in the gas to cook it off into atomic carbon and hydrogen. you can then bury the carbon.
I think it would be fabolous if you could use up all the natural gas that way.
If you want to know more Google "natural gas pyrolysis".
- junofan 3y agoDepends on how demand plays out. It’s possible China will oversupply green hydrogen, leaving blue hydrogen a stranded asset. I do wish hydrogen were a bigger part of the conversation today, and I think down-only emissions policy makes balancing supply and demand for emerging resources simply too hard. The $3/kg subsidy in the IRA would’ve gone a lot further if applied to grey hydrogen.
- blkhawk 3y agoblue hydrogen is an abomination. I don't count pyrolysis derived hydrogen as blue because I can actually see some chance that the carbon gets sequestered. The pessemist in me sees the resulting carbon being sold to coal plants tho :P That said hydrogen as a direct fuel replacement for individual transportation is something I am very much against. I simply see that we will need hydrogen for some applications but most have nothing to do with transportation whatsoever.
