Natural hydrogen, or “gold hydrogen” as it is also known, is hydrogen that is produced by certain geological processes such as when water reacts with certain rocks, deep in the subsurface.
This gas is then trapped in reservoirs akin to those that host oil and gas, with indications that the resource could be renewable and be continuously generated over very short geological timeframes.
Of special interest is the potential for natural hydrogen to offer significant cost and emissions advantages relative to other means of production.
So why is it that this potential resource is only now starting to get real attention from companies and markets?
Speaking to Stockhead, H2EX managing director and former Woodside senior executive Mark Hanna noted that natural hydrogen as a sector is still very new.
“People have been using hydrocarbons…
