It still needs energy to pump the water through the membrane and electricity. .
How do you get that electricity?

Wasn’t there an old Outer Limits episode that had this premise?

Ummmmmm

This is hydrolysis.

Is this whole article telling us what we’ve been doing with 9 volt batteries in a shotglass of water for 100 years ?

You must be kidding me. Clean Hydrogen, Clean Oxygen?

Some people need to brush up on their Thermodynamics 101.

We are not going to have an energy economy by using photovoltaic energy to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen to then generate hydrogen fueled

It’s absurd.

Fine! AS long as its commercially viable.

“How do you get that electricity?”

Nullpunktsenergie, or fairy dust. Or wishful thinking, the most powerful source of all things imaginary.

Fossil fuel, of course. Same as those EV oversized electric golf karts.

Within 5 years of this being used, the cultists would be protesting over DROPPING sea levels.

And when one reads the article, one finds out it’s not only ‘clean hydrogen”, but also that “hydrogen gas is a low-carbon fuel” - pretty amazing for a substance that has no carbon content at all!

One of the most stupidly written articles on science for the general public I’ve ever seen.

As a matter of fact, it is a no-carbon fuel.

On a related subject, the propane people are running TV commercials referring to propane as ‘green’. I have no complaint with propane but it’s not as green as natural gas.

This was my eighth grade science fair project. I made a beaker using a gallon jug, I used cigar tubes for test tubes. The electrodes were carbon rods from D cell batteries. I had made a power supply using salvaged parts from an old radio, which used an 80 tube as the rectifier, but my teacher wouldn’t let me use it. Had to use a battery instead.

Musk I believe, has a desalination plant near SpaceX spaceport in Texas. He pulls splits off C from CO2 in the atmosphere.Then he splits of H from pure H2O made in the desalination plants. From C and H2—he makes Methane gas or CH4.

Musk uses the methane to fuel his rockets.
