These flows blow through about 600 liters of the gas per minute, with that amount likely to rise in the future. Today, the resulting contaminated hydrogen is usually burned to form water. You could turn it into electricity, which is a nice, green, circular thing. But you’d still be consuming 100 percent of your resource.
