Earth's Hidden Hydrogen Reserves Could Power Society for Millennia

Study maps out how hydrogen accumulates in Earth ’s continental crust through natural processes that have been operating for billions of years .

Over the past billion years , hydrogen energy generated in the Archaean crust alone equates to approximately 170,000 years of present-day global oil consumption.

Unlike manufactured hydrogen, which currently generates approximately 900 million tons of carbon dioxide annually ( 2.4% of global emissions) natural hydrogen could be extracted with a minimal carbon footprint.

The study’s authors caution that while large accumulations of hydrogen are feasible, very high-purity hydrogen deposits like the one in Mali may prove exceptional.

The discovery and development of natural hydrogen resources could provide a transitional energy source with significantly lower environmental impact than current hydrogen production methods.
