In northern Sweden, the HYBRIT consortium has secured an extension of its temporary building permit for its underground hydrogen storage pilot in Luleå until 2031, allowing continued testing of a technology that early data suggest could cut variable hydrogen production costs by 25 to 40 percent.

Vema Hydrogen has drilled its first two pilot wells in Quebec, launching what it describes as the world’s first field test of Engineered Mineral Hydrogen, a method designed to produce hydrogen directly from subsurface rock formations.

Getech has secured its first contract in stimulated geologic hydrogen, partnering with GeoKiln on a pilot project in Minnesota that targets hydrogen production directly within iron-rich subsurface formations rather than at the surface.

China’s involvement in Arctic mining has become a focal point of international economic and geopolitical discussions, particularly as the melting…

Global hydrogen demand currently consumes close to 100 million tonnes annually for refining and ammonia production, creating a potential market…

If you listen to most conference panels, natural hydrogen sounds like a miracle waiting to be monetized. A geological cheat…

The distinction between hydrogen concentration and hydrogen accumulation in subsurface systems represents the central engineering challenge facing natural hydrogen commercialization,…

China has initiated its first scientific drilling campaign for natural hydrogen with the launch of the “Jinhydrogen Ketan 1” well in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, marking a strategic step from theoretical research toward practical evaluation of this emerging energy resource.

In a move that could test the commercial viability of natural hydrogen exploration in Canada, MAX Power Mining Corp. has defined the first deep-drilling target specifically designed to locate naturally occurring hydrogen gas within the country’s subsurface.

Global hydrogen demand is projected to exceed 500 million tones a year by mid-century, yet most low-carbon supply options remain expensive or constrained by infrastructure. A recent analysis from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies spotlights an emerging pathway: stimulated geologic hydrogen production.
