Global energy markets are entering a period of unprecedented constraint, with oil production peaking around 2018 and natural gas reserves now in structural decline. According to geologist and strategist Simon Michaux, new oil discoveries are consistently lagging behind consumption, making the development of a robust “after oil” strategy an urgent economic imperative.

On August 8th at 10 AM CET, Jack Rickers, Commercial & Business Development Lead at Hiringa Energy, delivered a detailed briefing on the Good Earth Green Hydrogen & Ammonia (GEGHA) project—a A$115 million commercial pilot in Moree, NSW, positioned to disrupt Australia’s fertilizer markets and advance agricultural decarbonization.

While most developers rely on simplified spreadsheets or generic LCOH calculators, Verdigy is betting on a more granular, system-integrated approach. At a recent Energy News webinar, Dr. Karen Das, simulation software lead at Verdigy, presented Energize, the company’s digital twin platform designed to simulate green hydrogen ecosystems with high fidelity and operational realism.

As the global hydrogen economy gains momentum, a central question continues to shape the trajectory of investment and deployment: when—and how—can green hydrogen reach cost parity with fossil fuel-derived alternatives? According to Dr. Kevin Cole, Senior Scientist at Verdagy, the answer may lie in Dynamic Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE), a technology designed to operate flexibly in response to variable renewable energy inputs without sacrificing performance or stack longevity.

The global energy sector’s pivot toward natural hydrogen has intensified scrutiny of geological processes like deserpentinization, which could yield vast subsurface hydrogen reserves. A 2023 U.S. Geological Survey estimate suggests subsurface hydrogen deposits may exceed 1 trillion tons globally—a potential game-changer for clean energy transitions.

A safety presentation by Lennie Klebanoff of Sandia National Laboratories underscores the complexities of handling, storing, and transporting hydrogen safely—issues that demand urgent industry-wide attention.

Dr. Frank Zwaan, a geoscientist at the University of Lausanne, is using plate tectonic simulations to identify the best geological conditions for natural hydrogen generation and accumulation.

In a notable advancement within sustainable motorsport, HyDriven—a team of 30 students from the University of Twente and Saxion University of Applied Sciences—has engineered a hydrogen-powered race car that has achieved remarkable acceleration records.
