Natural Hydrogen
Hydrogen formed over geological time deep underground, also known as geological or white hydrogen. It is a potentially low-cost, zero-emissions fuel source that does not require electrolysis.
2 mentions
Hydrogen concentration measurement
Innovative measurement program deployed to detect and quantify dissolved natural hydrogen in geological formations at various depths.
1 mention
Natural hydrogen exploration
Natural hydrogen exploration looks for hydrogen that is generated underground by geological processes rather than manufactured industrially. In this story, the technology is the search for subsurface hydrogen resources in the Pyrenees.
