The need for a geologic hydrogen wildcatter is growing as energy demand rises and efforts to reduce emissions continue.
Big energy companies like Shell, BP and Chevron are joining a consortium created by the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado School of Mines to study geologic hydrogen, but a handful of ambitious ...
Koloma has raised $91 million to drill for hydrogen continuously generated underground. If it succeeds, it could turbocharge the clean energy revolution — and tap a $1 trillion market.
Geological hydrogen also contains varying amounts of methane and nitrogen, so the gas must be purified and then compressed before transport and use, ...
Map showing prospectivity of geologic hydrogen in the conterminous United States. USGS. Why This Matters. As global energy systems pivot toward decarbonization, hydrogen is emerging as a key ...
Natural hydrogen gas may be trapped under the surface of Alaska in many areas, such as here in the Brooks Range. (Photo by Ned Rozell) The internal combustion engine is less than 100 years old.
Clark said the Iowa Geological Survey has been contacted by “a fair amount” of companies — both U.S. and abroad — that are interested in finding geologic hydrogen sources in Iowa.
One 2022 report from the U.S. Geological Survey suggested that there may be enough geologic hydrogen below the ground to supply humanity’s need for liquid fuel for hundreds of years. Templeton, who ...
Extracting geologic hydrogen also requires less energy than conventional hydrogen production methods, which often depend on renewable sources like wind or solar power for "green hydrogen." ...
Emerging science shows geologic hydrogen, created under the Earth's crust naturally, may exist in pools that can be extracted for clean energy. A U.S. Geological Survey study of where geologic ...
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.
A recent study has suggested that trillions of tons of hydrogen gas could be buried beneath the Earth’s surface. Led by a ...
