Geologic hydrogen needs intensive R&D, says study | largely academic knowledge base

Geologic hydrogen is high-risk but high-reward due to challenges related to limited, non-real-world knowledge, according to a new study. Geologic hydrogen, also known as white or natural hydrogen, is formed inside the Earth’s crust through natural processes in areas of iron-rich rock and can accumulate in underground reservoirs. Its potential as a clean and low-cost source of hydrogen has been growing in recent years, as various companies and governments start exploration efforts. Early last year, Rystad Energy estimated that 40 companies were searching for natural hydrogen deposits, up from just 10 in 2020. However, according to a study by Sandia National Laboratories in the US questions remain about how subsurface hydrogen can be found and recovered, with more R&D efforts required across various elements of the operation. “The key challenge to making geologic hydrogen a… Read More »Geologic hydrogen needs intensive R&D, says study | largely academic knowledge base

EU policy delays could hinder hydrogen and nuclear industry | Hydrogen

Any delays in low-carbon fuel regulations could hinder the growth of the hydrogen and nuclear industries. Under EU draft plans following the launch of the Clean Industrial Deal, Brussels will not start consulting on nuclear until June 2026 and hydrogen produced from nuclear would not be classified ‘low carbon’ until 2028, according to reports. A wave of policy updates are currently landing in Europe – with tight timeframes attached. Alongside the Clean Industrial Deal, the European Green Deal includes a commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. This is why nuclear is gaining attention. Nuclear power itself is considered low-carbon due to minimal greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation. However, when you factor in the entire lifecycle, such as mining, fuel processing, construction and decommissioning,… Read More »EU policy delays could hinder hydrogen and nuclear industry | Hydrogen
