The push for truly net-zero hydrogen fuels has intensified with the announcement of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and Purus Marine. The agreement, disclosed on 11 March 2025, aims to integrate low-carbon shipping into CIC’s renewable hydrogen supply, ensuring that transport emissions are fully accounted for—a critical gap in current hydrogen certification frameworks. CIC’s approach hinges on modular hydrogen production, with two 10GW projects underway in Australia to meet growing demand in the Asia-Pacific and Europe. By leveraging Purus Marine’s low-carbon shipping solutions, the partnership seeks to deliver renewable hydrogen at net-zero emissions when including…

In the Pyrenees, a single tectonic system may generate enough hydrogen annually to power a city of 500,000—a figure extrapolated from peer-reviewed models simulating mantle rock hydration. This process, termed serpentinization, occurs when water infiltrates iron-rich mantle rocks that have been pushed upwards to depths of 7-15 kilometers, producing hydrogen gas. However, less than 0.1% of global hydrogen investment targets natural deposits, despite projections by Rystad Energy suggesting recoverable reserves could offset 10% of current synthetic hydrogen production costs by 2035.
