Greetings friend @samminator.
Certainly the intention would be to generate electricity from fossil fuels such as gas and oil, but not in the traditional way in which oil products such as gasoline and diesel are burned, but to be able to obtain hydrogen and solid carbon through the separation of oil, so we could use hydrogen as a source of clean energy and solid carbon through nanotechnology applied in the manufacture of buildings and houses, cars and more.
It all depends on how much progress is being made in the different projects that are being carried out in favour of this proposal, and it also depends on the research and technological capacity that science and engineering always help us with.
Greetings and thank you for your important contribution in your commentary.
