Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that lets them create carbon-free hydrogen by splitting water at an atomic level.

Did previous water-splitting techniques produce carbon-ful hydrogen? I don't think that's how electrolysis works.

I suppose it's probably worth noting in discussions about electrolysis that most hydrogen currently comes from fossil fuel processing. So this would be in contrast to that rather than other electrolysis.

Ah, good point.
