Billion-Year-Old Hydrogen Factory Could Power Earth with Green Energy for the Next 170,000 Years

A new scientific paper has dug into an energy treasure trove beneath our feet—natural hydrogen that could power society for the next 170,000 years, and help drive the transition to a low-carbon future.  Published in the journal Nature Reviews, the study, led by a team at the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto, reveals that vast reserves of this naturally occurring gas lie hidden within the Earth’s continental …
