Most industrial-scale hydrogen production seems to be steam reforming of
natural gas, i.e. more or less methane, split the four hydrogens from
the carbon, of course the carbon gets oxidised, producing carbon
monoxide or dioxide ...


By that method, the production of 1 ton of hydrogen generates 9-12
tons of carbon dioxide, depending on the feedstock.

Don't tell me you actually believe on the CO2 ****? CO2 is fuel for plants! Better cheaper crops!
