Most natural gas is also hydrogen. This isn’t that unusual, in actuality.
What is unusual is ‘pure’ hydrogen, as most processes end up combining it into a denser composite molecule. Like water, or methane, etc.
- ianburrell 2y agoNatural gas is methane. Methane is composed of hydrogen, but it is mostly carbon by weight. Chemicals are different than their components. Water is also made of hydrogen but it takes work to split it.
- lazide 2y agoNatural gas depending on source can have a couple percent free hydrogen. Adding more is apparently becoming more popular. In some markets, it comes from LNG which is pretty pure methane, in others it comes from wells which has more hydrogen as well as other contaminants like sulfides.
- scott7ree 2y agoWater could be a key to discovery. Orange hydrogen is a theorized method of water fracking/stimulating ultramafic rock bodies to speed up the chemical reaction creating H2.
