Good News, everyone! Scientists with too much time on their hands from Virginia Tech have discovered a method to produce Hydrogen from a biomass with 100% efficiency. In the past, methods created to extract Hydrogen required lots of energy and weren’t 100% efficient. We can already produce Hydrogen by splitting water molecules using electrolysis but that’s a rather expensive process and requires us to use water sources like the sea to harvest it. In Egypt, some power stations produce Hydrogen, Oxygen and salt as by-products of using sea water to cool down their generators (which the proposed Nuclear power station at Thuyspunt would also do), but this process accelerates corrosion of metals and requires large amounts of heat to be exhausted.
