Seawater could become a great source for green hydrogen generation

Several research teams are now reporting advances in producing hydrogen directly from seawater, which could become an inexhaustible source of green hydrogen. Today, nearly all hydrogen is made by breaking apart methane, burning fossil fuels to generate the needed heat and pressure. Both steps release carbon dioxide. Green hydrogen could replace this dirty hydrogen, but
