In recent geological studies, the Semail Ophiolite emerges as an intriguing subject due to its surface exposure to oceanic lithosphere rocks. Extensive research has been conducted in the southern areas, particularly within the Sultanate of Oman, revealing active serpentinization processes and the consequent natural hydrogen production. However, exploration in the northern part of this region, specifically within the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, has been relatively limited. This underexplored area presents significant potential for natural hydrogen resources, as highlighted by recent research efforts focusing on comprehensive surface gas measurements. The study conducted in this region…

Transport accounts for a significant 29% of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions, so the spotlight on aviation’s contribution to climate issues has never been sharper. A key development has occurred within this context—Airbus’s much-touted hydrogen aircraft program has hit a major roadblock. Amidst earlier projections of launching hydrogen planes within a decade, Airbus’s recent announcement of delays starkly contrasts previous enthusiasms and presents a significant turning point for the industry. This situation is underscored by the €15 billion financial commitment that remains unprecedented despite market hesitance in developing a supporting hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen Challenges Airbus’s program envisioned positioning hydrogen as a…
