Scientists have developed a large-scale economical method to extract hydrogen (H2) from oil sands (natural bitumen) and oil fields. This can be used to power hydrogen-powered vehicles, which are already marketed in some countries, as well as to generate electricity; hydrogen is regarded as an efficient transport fuel, similar to petrol and diesel, but with no pollution problems. The process can extract hydrogen from existing oil sands reservoirs, with huge existing supplies found in Canada and Venezuela. Interestingly, this process can be applied to mainstream oil fields, causing them to produce hydrogen instead of oil.

Ndlr : Les pétroliers ont trouvé le moyen de justifier l’extraction de pétrole. Je suis farouchement contre, même si je veux bien comprendre l’avis des soutiens de cette technologie qui il est vrai offre une possibilité de transition. Mais alors c’est à condition que ça ne compromette pas la fin du pétrole.
