I want to like solar. but it is just not the best option in most places it is being forced.
“This technique slashes the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600%”
So does that mean it not only extracts hydrogen at no energy cost, but it also GENERATES 5 TIMES as much energy in the other direction (meaning that it provides energy in the process, rather than consumes it), or are we simply dealing with another liberal arts major writing the story?
Does this mean that raising livestock is okay now?
Wouldnt methane gas be easier and more naturally ocurring?
Until then I am skeptical of most claims. This is what happens to people when they are constantly barraged with lies.
Unfortunately many lies have their origins in the University setting and are the product of scientists & engineers with an agenda, but no real plan.
So forgive me for being a skeptic, because everything surrounding green energy based efforts have proven themselves to be BS, so that now the hydrogen fix just becomes the latest salvo as far as I am concerned.
Well then, the good news is that Washington DC will be energy independent for a millennium.
AFIC the one MOST responsible for (9/11) is Jamie Gorelick. As Deputy AG under Obama she erected a wall between the FBI and CIA regarding sharing of information, overseeing specific cases, etc. So what the CIA learned about arabs taking flight lessons here in the US didn’t/couldn’t get to the FBI, etc.
To compound absurdity over disaster she was one of the principals on the 9/11 commission. She was then rewarded with a position to head up Fannie Mae as Vice Chairman where she later received MILLIONS in bonuses
Sounds promising but a long way from doable...they mentioned using sulfuric acid to make the biochar. Not sure how much you’d need for something like a waste lagoon...
Would you truck the waste to a converter or set up next to the waste lagoon with,say, a trailer mounted plant and separate collection vessels for they hydrogen and CO2...
Be interesting to see it happen.
I thought cows and food were baaaaaaad?

This story is BS.
We need more gadgets that run like sh*t and smell like sh*t.
I have no use for hydrogen gas.
That's my way of seeing it as well. If you've got an unreliable source of energy such as solar, don't try to use it directly, just use it when it's available as an energy source for creating fuels that you can reliably use whenever you need them.
That is magic. How do you reduce something by 600%? Must be that new math I have been hearing about.
So, the energy is really solar & the hydrogen is simply a storage system (alternative to battery). Might be good if we can develop the infrastructure to handle & distribute hydrogen.
Well down in the article it is noted that the process generates CO2 which must then be captured if this is going to be emission free. Industrial scale carbon dioxide capture is going nowhere fast. No matter how sexy the means of its production, it’s still just plain old CO2.
Manure? Don’t they know that livestock are really really really bad and are part of the ‘climate change problem’????
Must be a non-starter.

DC to become the biggest supplier of manure....after Joe Biden.
“This technique slashes the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600%”
no it doesn’t: the required energy is just derived from a different source ... a source that requires modern industrial manufacturing methods, large amount of mined metals, plastics made from petro chemicals, and esoteric elements ...
