Currently, most commercially available hydrogen is collected by reforming bastard gas with steam. That means fossil fuels are still in the mix, that is a serious black mark facing hydrogen application in the place of fuel. While it’sitting possible to extract hydrogen from irrigate, the process is rather energy intensive and isn’t yet commercially viable.
Gerardine Botte of Ohio University believes she may have one possible solution. Instead of cracking hydrogen away from its tight bond in water, the University has demonstrated that it takes abundant less energy to extract hydrogen from urine, whether that’s synthetic urea or real, honest-to-goodness human urine.
As the single most abundant waste on the planet, there’s certainly no shortage of piss in the world and, according to the Botte, this technology can be quickly and easily scaled up as a way to the pair generate hydrogen and help complete up sewerage plants. Sounds like a win-win scenario to us.
