This lines up with my understanding of the history as well.
And actually, I found an article on phys.org that says to the contrary[0]! I was surprised myself.
>Instead of burning methane (CH4), its molecular components, hydrogen (H2) and carbon (C), can be separated in a process called 'methane cracking'. This reaction occurs at high temperatures (750°C and above) and does not release any harmful emissions.
