Anomalous Hydrogen

I wish that I understood this.

Hidden inside the volcanic-like ash, piling up below Verde Reformation's low temperature gasifier, we have managed to isolate and control, an extremely productive and sustainable "anomaly", capable of producing large quantities of hydrogen along with the most popular industrial, 'heavy' processing oils. A chain of multiple inter-related reactions are at work, exchanging energy and matter that in turn, produce the large quantities of concentrated hydrogen (up to 5 times more efficiently).

It starts with the reactions between the electrical nature of non-organic micro- pyrolytic minerals (found in all low termperature biomass ash, in a non-fused state) consisting of iron, magnesium, silicates, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, etc., that creates a reaction across the electrons of carbon in the ash, that in turn, heats up further till we stablized the reaction, that strips loose hydrogen ions from water primarily.

Somehow, what began as an increasingly common low temperature pyrolysis system that produced gases which could be converted to fuels and such, and left a small residual of ashes that some call biochar (though this has become a religious issue in which the nature of true biochar is disputed), turned into something else, producing hydrogen in inexplicable quantities from the water in the process rather than a normal co-product of pyrolyzing biomass.

They emphasize the possibilities for such copius amounts of cheap hydrogen, focusing importantly on liquid fuels that can be produced by Fisher-Tropsch processing, but noting the wide variety of products that can be made once you have the hydrogen. They claim that the ash residual has an NPK value of 6-8-8, but they could also do some very cheap ammonia synthesis from all of that hydrogen.

I find very little information about them or their patented anomaly, which makes me suspicious. Anybody know anything about this?
