Methane is CH4. When it burns completely, it produces H20 and CO2; more often it produces H20, CO2 and CO but we know enough to deal with the CO. So this is as much a hydrogen-based fuel as a carbon-based fuel. It should burn cleaner than anything else we know how to burn — free of soot, particulates, trace metals or ash. If the “fire ice” is a viable source — profitable on its own — then this is very good news.
