‘Some researchers have even suggested that hydrogen can be the driving force for volcanic activity,’ says Zgonnik, explaining how the oxidation of a flux of deep-seated hydrogen could provide the heat needed to melt rocks and vaporise water causing the build-up of pressure that leads to a volcanic explosion. ‘It’s not the mainly accepted theory of volcanism but myself I find it incredibly appealing, and as a chemist it makes perfect sense to me.’

All in all a good process for both science and cleaner energy. Here's to hoping it will at least ease the burden of carbon dependency a bit more. We desperately need it after all.
