Trillions of Tons of Underground Hydrogen: A Potential Clean Energy Revolution
A groundbreaking study has revealed a potentially game-changing discovery in the global quest for sustainable energy: trillions of tons of hydrogen gas buried beneath the Earth’s surface. These natural hydrogen reserves could power the planet for up to 1,000 years, offering a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels and reshaping the energy landscape. While significant technological and logistical challenges remain, this discovery opens the door to a future where geologic hydrogen might play a pivotal role in achieving global net-zero carbon goals.
What Is Geologic Hydrogen?
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, has long been hailed as a clean energy solution. However, most of the hydrogen used today is produced artificially, often from natural gas, through processes t...
