A method includes providing raw water into a first filter assembly to remove solids from the raw water to form a filtrate, providing the filtrate from the first filter assembly into a second filter assembly to electrochemically remove ionics from the filtrate to form purified water, and providing the purified water to an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen by electrolyzing the purified water.

A method for producing ammonia from nitrogen molecules, by supplying electrons from a power source, protons from a proton source, and nitrogen molecules from a device for supplying nitrogen gas, in the presence of a molecular catalyst and a solid catalyst at the cathode of a production apparatus that performs electrolysis. Regarding the molecular catalyst and the solid catalyst, bis(cyclopentadienyl)titanium dichloride, for example, is used as the molecular catalyst, and a metal catalyst, an oxide catalyst, or a combination thereof is used as the solid catalyst.

A method for producing ammonia involves producing ammonia from molecular nitrogen in a production apparatus for performing electrolysis by supplying electrons from a power source, protons from a proton source and molecular nitrogen from a device for supplying a nitrogen gas while in the presence of a solid catalyst and a complex in a cathode. For example, a molybdenum complex represented by formula (A1) or formula (B2) as the complex, and a platinum catalyst or a platinum catalyst/gold catalyst combination as the solid catalyst are used.

Methods and systems for producing hydrogen substantially without greenhouse gas emissions, one method including producing a product gas comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon fuel source; separating hydrogen from the product gas to create a hydrogen product stream and a byproduct stream; injecting the byproduct stream into a reservoir containing mafic rock; and allowing components of the byproduct stream to react in situ with components of the mafic rock to precipitate and store components of the byproduct stream in the reservoir.
