Hydrogen from Natural Gas Without CO2 Emissions--Methane is separated into gaseous #hydrogen and solid carbon that is a valuable material for various industry branches
https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/hydrogen-from-natural-gas-without-co2-emissions/
Ideally, pure carbon can be arranged in its perfect symmetrical structure to form diamonds but this takes a lot of energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond, this new process can take pure carbon atoms from methane/naturalgas (which is 4 hydrogen atoms and 1 carbon atom) and create carbon-based materials as a byproduct.
Carbon which is the 4th most abundant element in the universe if left exposed to air is vulnerable to getting oxygen atoms attached to it and becoming evil co2.
The reason why methane is found everywhere include methane clouds in space is because of the fact hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and carbon is 4th. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47788451
The upside to splitting methane gas rather than burning it is you don't create all those other evil gases like nitrogen oxide or anything else that likes to bind to oxygen in our air when its burned, as proven via the "dieselgate" scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_emissions_scandal.
By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.[8] Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1% at sea level

I love the Co2/H2 dice thing in this image.

A hydrogen-powered Fuel cell delivery drone managed an epic ocean crossing in 1-hour, 43-minute ocean.
Utilizing its temperature-controlled payload system, the drone was used to transport live bacteria samples from a hospital on the Caribbean island of St. Croix to a testing facility on the neighboring island of St. Thomas. This involved crossing 43 miles (69 km) of open ocean. Upon successfully reaching its destination, the copter reportedly still had almost 30 minutes of flight time left on its fuel cell.
According to Guinn Partners, it can ordinarily take up to a week before patients' biological fluid samples are transported between the two islands by manned aircraft – in the case of illnesses such as Dengue fever, the infection can progress to dangerous levels within that amount of time. Because using a drone is much cheaper and simpler, though, samples could conceivably be sent to St. Croix immediately.
A crew followed the drone below on a boat, but next time they will let the drone run at full speed.
Curious I marked it out on Google Maps, it is indeed 43miles/70km across the ocean.

This is why I think flying fuel cells should come pretty fast because they can literally replace a lot of expensive manned flight work, that being major news helicopter footage collection/expensive delivery services like medical.
And then ideally it should replace a lot of premium short-range human transport that would normally be done by helicopter, because ideally, the fuel-cell VTOL will be quieter and more environmentally friendly etc.

Mercedes-Benz has completed millions of test kilometers around the globe and, with the Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL fuel-cell plug-in hybrid (weighted hydrogen consumption: 0.91 kg/100 km, weighted CO2 emissions: 0 g/km, weighted power consumption: 18 kWh/100 km)1, it has recently set a further technological milestone.
