The fuel reformer, usually through a process called steam reformation (a process that creates carbon emissions) isolates
the pure hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel (methane, ethanol, propane, natural gas, etc.) This hydrogen, although pure, is sometimes referred to as dirty hydrogen due to the way it is created.
Researchers at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have years of experience researching the best ways to separate
pure hydrogen from mixed gas streams.
Overcoming some of the obstacles that have hindered petri - dish - to - gas - pump schemes in the past, scientists are finding ways to produce high - octane fuel and even
pure hydrogen from co-opted algae.
As an alternative, scientists have been trying to develop a cheap and efficient way to extract
pure hydrogen from water.

The original excitement about fuel cell cars, many decades ago, came
from the idea that we could electrolyze water with electricity
from low carbon sources like nuclear, solar, and wind, to make
pure hydrogen to burn in the fuel cells.
Fossil Fuel is a generic term that isn't quite correct Natural Gasoline is a distilled derivative of oil but almost all ofit is manufactured
from cracked and recombined oil derivativeswhile natural gasoline is further refined intoPropane, butane, Proproline (a plastics feed stock), and Natural gasand also separates out sulfur (for fertilizer and explosives) Gasoline can be made
from coal («Coaline») or
from organic matter («Bio-fuel») but uses a few of oil based feed stocks instead tomake «Sythiline» (artificial gasoline) This gasoline is actually cleaner burning then natural gas with allit's «flare offs» (butane, propane, propoline, sulfur) used in theearly 19th century because it is manufactured only with essentialHydrocarbons Diesel fuel is also becoming more and more Manufactured instead ofdistilled as demand for it rises but improvements in Hydro cleaningis allowing for diesel with no volatile chemicals like sulfur andmercury (taken out for petro - chemical feedstock to make fertilizerand thermometers) In both cases what you have is
pure hydro - carbons, a carbon atomwith
hydrogen atoms attached to it In the case of gasoline there is CH1, cH7, CH11 When in a combustion engine the gasoline is sprayed into the pistonafter being mixed with air and the drive of the engine compressesthe the chamber filled with the gasoline mist until it's full downstoke then the spark plug causes the Exothermic reaction... which isthe conversion of the potential energy in the gasoline mist to heatand force, with the force side of that equation shooting the pistonupward and the top of the stroke kicking what's left of thecaramelized gasoline mist out into the Emission control box If the Emulsion control box wasn't there to filter out the burntgasoline particles, any potential additives and volatile chemicalsthen the caramelized gunk hitting air would create CARBON MONOXIDEin the cooler then the heat of the engine difference CARBON MONOXIDE can also become a problem if the Emissions controlBox filter, air filters or muffler filters is worn or damaged.
The oxygen produced can be sold where chemically
pure oxygen is needed or used to make CO and
hydrogen from natural gas.
Also note that the BP Peterhead project gets its
hydrogen from methane reforming - this leaves a relatively
pure stream of CO2 to be dealt with for storage.
There is four basic methods of obtaining
pure (not extracted
from fossil fuel hydrocarbons)
hydrogen.
