    a new technique that lets them create carbon-free hydrogen by splitting water

    Did previous water-splitting techniques produce carbon-ful hydrogen? I don’t think that’s how electrolysis works.

      I suppose it’s probably worth noting in discussions about electrolysis that most hydrogen currently comes from fossil fuel processing. So this would be in contrast to that rather than other electrolysis.
