RMIT University researchers have developed a method of creating hydrogen directly from seawater.Lab-scale tests have shown the process creates no carbon dioxide and no chlorine, the latter of which is currently “the biggest hurdle” in using seawater to create hydrogen, RMIT said.“With further development, we hope this could advance the establishment of a thriving green hydrogen industry in Australia,” said research lead Dr Nasir Mahmood.The team is “working with industry partners to develop aspects of this technology” and planning development of a prototype electrolyser combining “a series of catalysts to produce large quantities of hydrogen.”https://www.aumanufacturing.com.au/new-approach-f

The 'Golden Thread' series are books relating to a multi-generational family that faced and overcame many challenges. The books are biographical historical novels emphasizing the good over the bad, virtue over wrong behavior.
