So this is either a big oil corp spending pennies on theorycrafting some exciting buzzword technosolutions

Or

A big oil corp which figured out that if they want to stay relevant for more than 10 yrs they need to diversify into other energy sources. With all the deserved hate they attract such companies are probably most likely to invent and implement aomething like this at scale.

It doesn't change the fact that they should be nationalized asap and their decisionmakers jailed.

95% of hydrogen is made using natural gas in a process called natural gas reforming. They see a way to maintain their investments.
