      And this is still a large step in the right direction, because cheap hydrogen creates an incentive to develop hydrogen infrastructure, which increases the demand for hydrogen, and can help lay the groundwork for a future in which hydrogen is produced from renewable sources.

      Also, steam reforming lends itself well to CCS, and as such it can be performed without carbon emissions.
