Connected sensor technology developed by ENGIE to continuously monitor natural hydrogen flux from geologic sources.

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.

Geochemical processes in subsurface environments that generate hydrogen as a byproduct of mineral-water interactions.

ENGIE's Hydrogen business unit is conducting research on natural hydrogen flux and developing connected sensors to continuously monitor for natural hydrogen.

Natural Hydrogen Energy LLC drilled the first exploratory well for natural hydrogen in Nebraska, USA, providing unique information about this novel energy resource.

Dr. Tom Darrah's future work aims to develop a viable exploration strategy for natural hydrogen based on petroleum industry knowledge, including databases of gas geochemistry, aqueous geochemistry, geophysics, and geotechnical engineering applications.
