The promise of a hydrogen economy to replace fossil fuels is commonly centered on the potential for ‘green hydrogen,’ generated via electrolysis of water with carbon-free electricity. But natural gas can also be converted to hydrogen without the carbon emissions, via another spectrum of the hydrogen palette.
