Drilling for underground hydrogen will use the same technques developed for the oil and gas industry. getty The Senate held the first congressional hearing on geologic hydrogen, a promising new ...

They were interested in hydrogen that may be trapped underground by the types of rocks that also trap gas and oil. Mark Myers thinks Alaska might be a great place to find this geologic hydrogen.

Geological hydrogen also contains varying amounts of methane and nitrogen, so the gas must be purified and then compressed before transport and use, which requires energy and so can lead to ...

Geologic hydrogen, sometimes referred to as white, gold or natural hydrogen, refers to hydrogen gas that is found in its natural form beneath the Earth's surface. Exploratory efforts for geologic ...

Researchers claimed that geologic hydrogen could be a low-carbon primary energy resource; however, the magnitude of Earth’s subsurface endowment has not yet been assessed. Knowledge of the ...

An accidental discovery The initial discovery of geologic hydrogen occurred in 1987 in a small village roughly 60 kilometers (37.3 miles) from Mali's capital of Bamako.

“Koloma believes in a future energy economy where geologic hydrogen is a key enabler of decarbonization,” Pete Johnson, the Denver-based company’s cofounder and CEO, told Forbes.

Analysis and Environment How geologic hydrogen went from fringe science to potential green fuel Just a year ago, few people took seriously the idea that we could extract hydrogen from the ground ...

Geologic hydrogen, on the other hand, is formed when water reacts with iron-rich rock deep underground, potentially allowing hydrogen production at a much lower cost, said Danny Reible, a chemical ...

Geologic hydrogen could be an important part of the solution, said Mark Myers, a geologist and member of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
