    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something about Alberta cracking natural gas to produce “green” hydrogen.

      The BC Hydrogen Office website talks about both electrolysis and removing hydrogen from natural gas then storing the left over bits underground.

      B.C. has several advantages for producing low-carbon hydrogen. More than 98% of electricity generated in the province is clean or renewable. This means B.C. has a significant opportunity to produce clean hydrogen from electrolysis.

      B.C. is also home to abundant natural gas reserves and significant geological carbon storage capacity. These are necessary for producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas. With these attributes, B.C. can supply the growing global demand for low-carbon hydrogen.

        significant geological carbon storage capacity

        You don’t need to use that storage capacity if you don’t pump fossil carbon to the surface :/
