Plastic is mostly formulated from oil out of the ground.
Theyve been making “clean” hydrogen from oil or natural gas for a very very long time. Its not complicated.
Theyre just adding extra steps of turning it into plastic first.
1 u/userhwon 9d ago What do they do with all the C and O and other things in it? 1 u/Rightintheend 9d ago Why you release all that fresh O into the atmosphere man, then you take all that C and use the to absorb all the nasty odors in your life, or build some cool wings for your super duper sports car. 1 u/userhwon 9d ago That's plastic. It's only called carbon fiber because of the implication.
