Geologic hydrogen exploration

Education and Research

Hydrogen occurring naturally in the Earth's crust and mantle, produced through inorganic chemical reactions rather than from fossil fuels. It is extracted directly from the ground without requiring energy-intensive production processes.

Hydrogen produced from natural gas without carbon capture, which is the most common method currently.

Hydrogen derived from natural gas with carbon capture technology, debated as a potential stepping stone or greenwashing.

Exploratory drilling project by Natural Hydrogen Energy to assess natural hydrogen extraction viability. Expected to transition to commercial production within a couple of years.

An unpublished research project estimating global subterranean hydrogen reserves at 5 trillion tonnes. Led by Geoffrey Ellis.

Natural hydrogen extraction and utilization for electricity generation in the village of Bourakébougou, Mali. Operating since 2012 with nearly pure hydrogen.
