Next in the "Can Plasma?" series: can plasma make hydrogen without electrolysis? Yes. From water, methane, ammonia, biological waste, diesel fuel, or a mix of soil and cow manure. Plasma doesn't care about the source. On-site generation is where this gets interesting.

⏱️ Chapters

00:00 The question, plus 3 things to cover

00:18 Point 1: plasma cracks water, methane, ammonia, and other hydrogen-containing feedstocks directly

00:29 Point 2: energy efficiency determines whether it's industrially viable

00:39 Point 3: plasma reactors can be small and cheap, which reshapes logistics

00:57 How it works: feedstock through plasma dissociates hydrogen-containing molecules

01:17 Farm example: convert hydrocarbon waste into hydrogen, feed a fuel cell, generate electricity

01:41 The silent tank story
