"Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe but is usually found in compound form. It can be extracted from a variety of sources, including water, fossil fuels and biomass but this requires energy and can release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Geologic hydrogen — or natural hydrogen — is pure hydrogen, generated through water-rock interactions deep in the Earth’s subsurface without active stimulation, the researchers said."

Exxon Mobil and Air Liquide agree to support production of low-carbon hydrogen
"Air Liquide, which supplies gases and services to industries, will build and operate four Large Modular Air separation units to supply 9,000 metric tons of oxygen and about 6,500 metric tons of nitrogen every day to the Texas facility to help produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia."
H2 to the Rescue: How Hydrogen May Soon Power Disaster Relief
H2Rescue may soon be able to provide the water, electricity, and communications needed to recover from and adapt to these events.
Aramco, Rondo Energy Studying GW-Scale Thermal Storage, Hydrogen, Carbon Capture Deployment
"Rondo Heat Batteries store energy in long-proven brick materials that can be cost-effectively produced with Saudi Arabia’s mineral resources. The companies will assess the potential of establishing large-scale energy storage manufacturing in that country."
Biden’s $7B ‘clean’ hydrogen dream faces pipeline hurdle
"The National Petroleum Council, a federal advisory committee, recently recommended that Congress give FERC the ability to regulate interstate hydrogen pipelines in a report requested by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm."
Australian Startup Mimics Trees to Make Cheaper Green Hydrogen
"The machines apply electricity to water and split the compound into its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen. It’s quite easy to make an electrolyzer at home that generates small quantities of hydrogen. All you need is two pieces of solid metal, some wire, salty water and a source of electricity."
Geologists signal start of hydrogen energy ‘gold rush’
"Geologists are now finding natural hydrogen reserves around the world. This month researchers reported that more than 200 tonnes of hydrogen a year were flowing from the Bulqizë chromite mine in Albania."
Bill Gates-Backed Clean Fuel Startup Raises $246 Million To Aid Plans To Drill For Hydrogen
"Hydrogen’s flexibility as an energy source — it can be used to cut carbon emissions, power vehicles and store or make electricity — makes it highly compelling. Currently, most industrial hydrogen is made by splitting it from natural gas with steam, a process that emits carbon dioxide. A new industry for carbon-free 'green' hydrogen, using electrolysis to extract the element from water with electricity, is promising but a more costly option. Geologic hydrogen’s advocates think it will prove to be the cheapest form, given the ability to leverage long-established energy-drilling techniques."
Clean hydrogen is driving the next Gulf Coast energy boom
"Over in southern Mississippi, Hy Stor’s vision operates on a similarly grand scale. The company, with just a dozen full-time employees, has acquired rights to nearly 70,000 acres across several counties in a state with almost no renewable power installed today. In just the first phase, Hy Stor will add around 2.7 gigawatts of electrolyzers, powered by twice that capacity of onshore wind, solar and geothermal. This off-grid design ensures that the hydrogen will be clean, a commitment that attracts customers who are serious about decarbonization, CEO Laura Luce told me."
Meet the boffins and buccaneers drilling for hydrogen
"Hydrogen has the highest energy density of all chemical fuels and is also very reactive, says Eric Toone, chief technology officer of Breakthrough Energy. This makes it potent. It could be used to make essential but currently dirty things such as liquid fuels, steel and ammonia."
