The primary objective of conventional hydrotreating is to remove impurities present in petroleum feedstocks, such as sulfur and nitrogen, via the addition of hydrogen. Another area of refining cost is the hydrogen consumption, which is required for taking the oxygen out of the natural feedstocks. —Jim Rekoske. —Jim Rekoske.

We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels. One way is to generate hydrogen by splitting water and storing the hydrogen, as in the power-to-gas schemes under examination (e.g., earlier post ).
