"There is grey hydrogen - produced by splitting methane into carbon dioxide and hydrogen (H2). Blue hydrogen is produced the same way, but the CO2 produced is captured and stored.
Black hydrogen is produced by partially burning coal.
Green hydrogen, that elusive 1%, is created through the electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen.
But green hydrogen is relatively expensive and in short supply, so any other emission-free supply of the gas would be welcome.
Known as natural hydrogen, gold hydrogen or white hydrogen, natural deposits could be an important source.
They are produced in a number of ways but the main process involves the interaction of ground water with iron-rich minerals such as olivine. This causes the water to be split into oxygen, which binds with the iron, and hydrogen."
"Charlie couldn't resist taking a sniff and confirmed that Thunder "does smell good"."

'Spinning, the Art'

"It gets a bad rep, fakery. Authenticity is seen as something holy and aspirational. But not only is faking it an often essential step towards discovering your own “real” voice or talent, it looks prettier, too. People talk about impostor syndrome, but rarely does anyone admit that the only way to stop feeling like you’re not supposed to be there is to pretend, violently, that you absolutely are. This works at work and for parties, too, when you arrive alone, and parenting, and the beginnings of relationships when you want to show only your very best self. This year I’ve also learned the benefits of faking it when someone asks how you are."
