"Most hydrogen is made from natural gas, which is mostly methane. Methane contains one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen can be stripped out and the carbon can be sequestered back where it came from – underground in spent natural gas wells. The carbon dioxide can also be used in fracking."
Canada should be applauded for wanting to future proof their natural gas industry, however what they are planning still has some environmental nasties.
No doubt, (when the time is right), they will move to minimise those nasties.
The time when it will be right is when the Hazer Process is commercially available.
