Climate tech firm hails hydrogen biotech breakthrough | Hydrogen

A climate tech energy firm is claiming an industry breakthrough after producing ‘bio-stimulated’ hydrogen without drilling, electrolysis or energy-intensive surface facilities. Gold H2’s field trial, conducted in a legacy oilfield in California’s San Joaquin Basin, leverages microbiology and existing infrastructure to produce clean hydrogen directly from the subsurface. The trial recorded results of 40% hydrogen in the gas stream and 400,000 ppm of hydrogen in produced gases. ChampionX LLC, which specialises in engineered technologies, served as the oilfield services provider. “Gold H2 exists to do what no one ever has: produce clean hydrogen directly in the subsurface using biology, engineering, and existing energy infrastructure,” said CEO Prabhdeep Singh Sekhon. “This field trial is tangible proof. We’ve taken a climate liability and turned it into a scalable, low-cost hydrogen solution. It’s a new blueprint for decarbonisation, built… Read More »Climate tech firm hails hydrogen biotech breakthrough | Hydrogen

Liebreich provocations on cost spark debate at London hydrogen event | swiss green energy firm morgen energy

Michael Liebreich, the analyst and investor behind the ‘Hydrogen Ladder’, which organises the molecule’s use cases into an order of likely adoption, has repeated his recent calls for a reset when it comes to hydrogen and its applications. In a keynote interview at the FT Hydrogen Summit 2025 in London, Liebreich’s growing scepticism about the direction and progress of the industry was front and centre. “I find it hard to say, but hydrogen is not a good fuel [for some of its target use cases],” he said. “It won’t do heating; it won’t do transport. It won’t even do ammonia. It is just too expensive.” Liebreich’s provocative words to a room of committed hydrogen industry players argued that politics was at work, with policymakers having become attached to hydrogen as an article of faith, in… Read More »Liebreich provocations on cost spark debate at London hydrogen event | swiss green energy firm morgen energy

Spanish energy firms to turn salt cavern into hydrogen storage | Hydrogen

Spanish companies Solvay and Enagás plan to develop a hydrogen storage hub in Cantabria, Spain, that could play a role in Europe’s decarbonisation efforts. The project will involve the partners repurposing salt caverns – originally created for the production of soda ash – for the long-term storage of hydrogen. Solvay, a soda ash production specialist, is now actively repurposing its network of salt caverns into strategic assets for energy storage, particularly for hydrogen and compressed air. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!
