UIC engineers have introduced a groundbreaking method for producing hydrogen gas using solar power and agricultural waste, drastically reducing energy consumption and enabling net-zero greenhouse emissions.
Engineers from the University of Illinois Chicago have developed a novel method to produce hydrogen gas from water using solely solar power and agricultural byproducts like manure and husks. This technique slashes the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600%, paving the way for more sustainable and environmentally friendly chemical manufacturing.
Hydrogen-based fuels are one of the most promising sources of clean energy. But producing pure hydrogen gas is an energy-intensive process that often requires coal or natural gas and large amounts of electricity.

DC to become the biggest supplier of manure....after Joe Biden.
“There are a lot of EV threads these days...should be more of them”
I’m not complaining about EV articles and threads, only the useless verbiage in some of them (mostly in the published articles).
I agree with your entire post.
“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 ...
Interesting.
“This technique slashes the energy required to extract hydrogen from water by 600%,”
Trust the science. They use government maffs...

Math: It’s not just a good idea. It’s the law.
Beware when you see phrases involving a new technology promising that it “will change everything”. “Tranformative” is in the same league.
But our ruling class wants to kill all the livestock, so there won’t be any manure.
I will say that it will depend on whether this pans out on industrial scale. If this does pan out, it would be every one of those words.
