H2 production
H2O + C -> CO + H2
This is the 'water gas' reaction. IIRC the British gasworks used this process for municipal gas utility. In this reaction the water is supplied as steam; it is passed over red-hot coal. The reaction keeps the coal hot, so it can be sustained for a long time.
It is true you wind up with the amount of CO2 that the carbon you start with produces.
But a H2 powered car doesn't seem to offer many more advantages than that k3w1 clear hood. And - BMW, it's been done, there is nothing original about it. (Am I the only one on the board old enough to remember what kind of car "Color Me Gone" was?)
