        Dog… Do you think there’s a lower carbon technique to capture hydrogen than bottling a stream of naturally occurring hydrogen?

        Electrolysis requires energy, and it degrades the anodes and cathodes. It generally is used with additives, because pure water isn’t conductive.

        Pure hydrogen, for free, is as good as it gets. No matter how good our tech gets, this is the closest to a freebee we’ll ever get
