In the quest for a zero-emissions energy future, geological hydrogen emerges as a potential game-changer, challenging conventional notions about its rarity. Recent research suggests Earth's crust may harbour vast reservoirs, potentially reshaping 40% of natural gas consumption. Pioneering companies like HyTerra and Gold Hydrogen seek to unlock this potential, but the absence of gas gushers hampers progress. As the green hydrogen gold rush gains momentum, success hinges on geological hydrogen proving its explosive potential in the evolving energy landscape. The clock is ticking for this promising but unproven resource.
