Geologic hydrogen hunt signals potential clean energy gold rush

Companies are increasingly exploring geologic hydrogen as a potential clean energy source, seeking naturally occurring hydrogen deposits or stimulating their formation underground. This approach aims to overcome the high costs associated with current clean hydrogen production methods like electrolysis. While promising, challenges remain in efficiently capturing and storing this light gas, with some companies like HyTerra and Koloma actively prospecting in regions like the Midwestern United States, and others like Vema Hydrogen experimenting with stimulated geologic hydrogen production.

    The next big thing in hydrogen could be underground

    There’s a hunt for new sources of hydrogen, and the gas (or at least the right conditions to make it) could be hiding beneath our feet. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel in everything from large trucks to planes to steelmaking. It’s often hailed as a climate solution because when bu…
