A great deal of methane, natural gas is wasted, burned off at oil wells around the world. Many of these gas producers are in small fields and have no convenient economical way of storing or moving this natural. So what we have is a raw material, natural gas, that is essentially free and being wasted now. Besides being a waste product instead of a by product it adds to our environmental concerns without producing a benefit. I'm a retired engineer with interests on small stripper oil wells. I do not have the resources to pursue this, but if someone could check out the numbers and the dollars here we might get a win/win situation.

To get the rest of us excited, tell us how much closer this gets us to safe storage of enough H2 to move us 300 or 500 miles down the road in a vehicle powered by an H2 engine.
