Hydrogen is viewed as a promising alternative to fossil fuel, but the methods used to make it either generate too much carbon dioxide or are too expensive. Rice University researchers have found a way to harvest hydrogen from plastic waste using a low-emissions method that could more than pay for itself.
The hero we need
How much energy is used to do so and how much CO2 is released as part of the process?
Doesn’t say, but if the electricity used is from renewables then it’s irrelevant, as it can potentially produce graphene at 5% of the current price
Found this re co2

If they’re making graphene and hydrogen then there can’t be much left over can there?
Not quite. This is greenwashing. the company funding the research is the world’s largest offshore drilling company. You got suckered or are trying to sucker in other people
Rice University are greenwashing?
And so what if an energy company is paying for research into hydrogen and plastic waste upcycling?
Edit. the United States Army Corps of Engineers gave them funding…
The army is one of the biggest ghg emitters in the world. Now I’m certain you’re just sharing propaganda. Why would a fossil fuel company push hydrogen technology? Because hydrogen production requires fossil fuels.
Woah there buddy. You said it was the biggest offshore drilling company a minute ago and cast aspersions over the scientists involved at Rice
Hydrogen does not require fossil fuels…
This company makes ammonium nitrate from renewable energy and green hydrogen

Maybe pump your brakes calling everyone propagandists until you actually understand the technology involved

So, the get 8% of the bottle into a usable form . . . by turning plastic bottles into gases. So where does the rest of the bottle go? How much energy is used for that?
Second paragraph…
