Half a billion dollars in investment. More than thirty exploration wells. Zero commercial results. This is the current state of an industry that was recently called “the new oil.” Natural hydrogen was supposed to be the key to clean energy. But instead, there is silence. They wanted to turn it into the clean oil of the 21st century. But instead of a flow, there are only press releases. It’s time to ask the big question. 🔬A Beautiful Theory. A Terrible Reality. It all began with a compelling hypothesis: hydrogen forms in the Earth’s crust when ultramafic rocks react with water.…

Hydrogen Age® is a European start-up developing the first international model for exporting natural geological hydrogen using ammonia as a logistics solution.

I can’t help feeling that we are all inside a strange play, where the actors know their lines but don’t understand the meaning of the production.

The world is on the cusp of a new energy shift. Natural geologic hydrogen is not a hypothesis, but a future real asset that has gone unnoticed for years because of mistakes in exploration.

I recently revisited the cult movie “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013). The main character is a man who is given a death sentence by the system. The doctors give him 30 days to live, the bureaucracy suggests he accept it, and the pharmaceutical companies sternly point out, “Here’s the only right way, and everything else is dangerous delusions.”

The global energy landscape is gradually changing and natural geologic hydrogen could become a key player in the coming energy revolution. Unlike conventional hydrocarbons, hydrogen is a future that is only available to those who study the topic in depth.

Imagine a world where clean, renewable hydrogen is extracted directly from the ground, with virtually no CO₂ emissions and at a cost far below existing ways of producing it. Does it sound like science fiction?
