The useful thing about stationary (and central) generating, the CO and CO2 generated can be reclaimed safely. One could use a water-gas shift reactor to reform CO into more H2 and CO2, and the CO2 could be reclaimed with biomass, and eventually processed into fermentable sugars and then into ethanol for fuel or another H2 source.
This separator, while not revolutionary, would be a nice step in the right direction. Steam reforming is the current method of getting H2 from natural gas, and it ironically requires a combustion reaction for heat.
