Combining Tectonic Simulations and Fieldwork in the Search for Natural H2

As the energy transition accelerates, naturally occurring hydrogen (H₂) is gaining attention as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Formed through the serpentinization of mantle rocks, natural H₂ has the potential to accumulate in reservoirs and be extracted—but understanding where to find it is key.

Join Dr. Frank Zwaan as he explores how plate tectonic simulations helps trace when and where mantle rocks enter the serpentinization window, generating large volumes of natural hydrogen. Learn why rift-inversion orogens—like the Alps, Pyrenees, and the Balkans—could be the next frontier for H₂ exploration and how recent fieldwork is reinforcing this theory.

We’ll try to answer these questions:

🔎 What are the best geological conditions for natural hydrogen generation and accumulation?
⚡ How can tectonic simulations improve exploration success?
🏔️ What can recent field discoveries tell us about H₂’s true potential?
