Here is a company in Australia developing a new way to extract H2 from natural gas without emitting CO2:
Like all sources of H2 out there, this one likely will not be affordable.Hazer Group said:The Hazer Process creates clean hydrogen and high quality graphite
At the core of its technology, the Hazer Process utilises unprocessed iron ore as a low cost catalyst to “crack” natural gas to produce clean hydrogen and high-quality graphite.
The Hazer Process
The Hazer Process enables the effective conversion of natural gas, and similar feedstocks, into hydrogen and high quality graphite, using iron ore as a process catalyst. The aim of the Hazer Process will be to achieve savings for the hydrogen producer, as well as providing 'clean' hydrogen (i.e. with significant lower production of carbon dioxide emissions), enabling such hydrogen to be used in a range of developing 'clean energy' applications, as well as in large existing chemical processing industries. The graphite produced by the Hazer Process is high purity (>90%wt), highly crystalline 'synthetic' graphite. The Hazer Process can be tailored to create a range of graphite morphologies, potentially enabling Hazer to target multiple specialised markets and end user applications.
