NT.

Hydrogen is nothing but in effect a battery, takes energy to make at a loss. Splitting nat gas also makes co2, even if the intermediate step is CO. Again at a loss, every change is a net loss of energy.

eta Producing one tonne of hydrogen through this process ( methane conversion ) emits 6.6–9.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide with a loss of 26% of the energy.
