Not quite. This is greenwashing. the company funding the research is the world's largest offshore drilling company. You got suckered or are trying to sucker in other people

Rice University are greenwashing?

And so what if an energy company is paying for research into hydrogen and plastic waste upcycling?

Edit. the United States Army Corps of Engineers gave them funding...

The army is one of the biggest ghg emitters in the world. Now I'm certain you're just sharing propaganda. Why would a fossil fuel company push hydrogen technology? Because hydrogen production requires fossil fuels.

Woah there buddy. You said it was the biggest offshore drilling company a minute ago and cast aspersions over the scientists involved at Rice

Hydrogen does not require fossil fuels...

This company makes ammonium nitrate from renewable energy and green hydrogen

Maybe pump your brakes calling everyone propagandists until you actually understand the technology involved
