Green hydrogen from seawater and scrap aluminum?

The best innovations help with two or more problems at once. They utilize what’s at hand. In today’s Points of Progress column we land on the work of researchers trying to create a clean option for maritime fuel, which is notoriously polluting.

Could the discovery decarbonize heavy industry, or power homes, as the global need for energy rises? We’ll see. But it’s a Monitor hallmark to note credible wins, even nascent ones. And the turning of ocean-going vessels into old-school settings for the future of power generation represents a step worth watching.
