Researchers develop large-scale, economical method to extract hydrogen from oil sands and oil fields

Green Car Congress

The process can extract hydrogen from existing oil sands reservoirs, with huge existing supplies found in Canada and Venezuela. This heat causes the nearby hydrocarbons—and any surrounding water molecules—to break apart (thermolysis).Thermolysis, Proton Technologies is commercializing the process.

Taking this further, they estimated that the warming associated with the use of heavy oil amounts to this level of emissions could lead to about 0.002−0.009 °C increase in earth surface temperature, based on mid-21 st century carbon-climate response model estimates. They found that if the energy content of bitumen is taken to be 42.8
