Definitely a good idea to quickly get a lot of hydrogen while also being realistic.
Also, helium is one of the possible byproducts of oil processing, and IRL getting it from underground sources is the main way we have of obtaining it, but it's worse than getting it from liquid air or, even better than that, yellow stonelillies. I've considered making a ticket about this.
Helium is already available as a byproduct from refinery gas, and irl most of our helium is sourced from rare underground deposits, so if it is needed you could add helium as a rare underground fluid deposit in the overworld.

I don't see any reason for adding this to the game since we already have methane+water -> a lot of hydrogen and some carbon monoxide
As much as I like realism I'm not sure why would oil residuals which are very big molecules be centrifuged into two light gasses, reaction like that definitely shouldn't take place in a centrifuge. WGSR could be added but it would just buff methane+water even more and it's pretty good already so I'd say there's no need

Your Pack Version
2.1.1.4
Your Proposal
many people have been complaining about the production of hydrogen and I noticed that the pack is missing the most common way industrial hydrogen is produced in real life. the process would be as follows:
instead of producing carbon dust. distilling cracked fuels should produce "oil residuals" which can be separated (centrifuged?) into Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide in a 1:1 ratio. then, the water gas shift reaction should be added to the game, my suggestion is that in the chemical reactor, 1B of CO and 12B of steam can quickly be converted into 1B of CO2 and 1B H2. if this is too powerful, then perhaps it should require a chemical plant and a catalyst
Your Goal
it adds some realism into the pack in a way that will make the game more interesting.
Your Vision
add an interesting Real-life way of producing hydrogen, and also give some more utility to distillation tower based setups which currently are a bit weak. it also would add some use to recycling CO from EBF and pollution filters, which currently most people just void
