#GeologicHydrogen
Denver startup #Koloma opens Columbus, OH R&D lab, focusing on white hydrogen exploration and extraction.↙️
I saw Koloma's Emily Yedinak preso at MIT Energy Initiative's 2024 Spring Symposium.↘️ Key takeaways: perspective, market trends, and #GHG lifecycle analysis #LCA
Yes, naturally-occurring, or geologic hydrogen, or white #hydrogen is a real thing. @UniofOxford describes UK's interest in #WhiteHydrogen. ↙️
Last year I attended a Symposium at @mitenergy on #GeologicHydrogen, including #OrangeHydrogen, where manmade catalysts & adjuvants speed #H2 production.↘️

The Geologic Hydrogen Prospectivity Map Explorer hosts various geologic and geophysical data layers in support of the U.S. Geological Survey’s initiative to map the potential of geologic hydrogen within the conterminous U.S. This first-ever Hydrogen Map Explorer contains 19 input maps and 7 integrated maps that highlight prospective areas for naturally occurring hydrogen across the country.
🚨🎆🤩😍 Extension of National Energy Emergency EO to natural hydrogen:
1) Natural gas is called out in the EO↙️
2) Natural gas hydrogen content #naturalhydrogen can reach 21-24%↘️
3) ∴ natural (or geologic hydrogen) is part of the EO!

Giant reserves of 'gold' hydrogen may be lurking beneath at least 30 US states, 1st-of-its-kind map reveals
Numerous startups & some academics are in the natural hydrogen #NH exploration space.
#NH is mostly #protium (1 proton=¹H) & 0.015% deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron=²H). Origins of H2 formation change the #deuterium ratio.↙️↘️
Any #NH startups looking at ²H?
USGS model shows Earth may hold 5.6 trillion metric tons of geologic hydrogen; ~200-year supply

Trillions of tons of hydrogen gas are likely buried in rocks and reservoirs beneath Earth's surface, but researchers aren't sure where it is yet.
Could low-carbon hydrogen fuel come from Alaska mines? Researchers are studying it.
Max Graham, Northern Journal, Alaska Beacon Geologic hydrogen — gas that’s trapped underground or stimulated by injecting water into certain mineral deposits — is all the buzz right now. Boosters...
