Dear List,

Chlorine production during electrolysis can be prevented by linking with an AI to keep the current below where chlorine is generated, adjusting the current in real-time to the intake water quality. As such, H2 fuel cells can likely be powered with seawater without the concern over chlorine.

Such electrolysis produces processing water that is strongly alkaline and somewhat hot. If properly spread out over wide areas of calm ocean deserts, where few life forms live, the mCDR value should be rather high.

The AI can watch out for the occasional migrating whale and simply turn the system off until the whale passes.
