Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have developed a new method to extract hydrogen from seawater without desalination. The advance could help simplify the process of obtaining hydrogen for renewable energy.

"Hydrogen is emerging as an alternative clean fuel; however, its dependance on freshwater will be a threat to a sustainable environment," researchers said in a paper detailing the new methodology.

Seawater is far more abundant than freshwater, but the process of extracting hydrogen from it has a number of drawbacks.

Current methods for extraction hydrogen from seawater produce a large amount of chlorine as a by-product, and require significant energy consumption. The process developed by the Materials for Clean Energy and Environment research group at RIMIT University directly splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen.

This is fantastic news! Let's hope BigPetroleum or Bill Gates doesn't buy it and bury it.

Wanna know the most "clean fuel" we have access to TODAY?

It's called nuclear. If you think that hydrogen is going to become cheap and efficient, then it will threaten the global energy sectors domination via coal, oil, and gas.

IFF an energy source becomes cheap and efficient enough to threaten the elite energy cartel, it will be demonized and banned. Like nuclear.

True story. Small modular reactors would revolutionize the power grid.

To overcome the problems associated with hydrogen extraction from seawater, researchers introduced "a unique catalyst composed of pours [sic.] sheets of nitrogen-doped NiMo3P (N-NiMo3P)."

The usual problem with using membranes is that they get contaminated and clog up.
