Clean Hydrogen Source Could Power Earth for 170,000 Years

Clean hydrogen source could power Earth for 170,000 years

Scientists have found natural hydrogen deep underground, enough to fuel the planet for 170,000 years and offer a new path to cleaner energy.

Huge Reservoirs of Clean Hydrogen Could Power Earth for 170,000 Years

Recent breakthroughs suggest that hydrogen reservoirs are buried in countless regions of the world, including at least 30 U.S. states

Scientists find potential clean energy source that could last humanity 170,000 years

Scientists from Oxford, Durham and Toronto have mapped how natural hydrogen forms and collects underground, offering a new path to low-cost, low-emission energy that could reshape the global clean energy market and reduce reliance on fossil fuels

Massive Hydrogen Discovery Could Power Earth For 170,000 Years

Imagine an energy source so clean it only leaves behind water. And there’s enough of it buried underground to keep the lights on for the next 170,000 years.A team of scientists from Oxford, Durham, and Toronto has just cracked open the Earth’s crust—figuratively speaking. They revealed vast reserves of natural, or “white,” hydrogen.And unlike the hydrogen we use today (which ironically requires fossil fuels to produce), this version bubbles up n…

Hydrogen reserves have been accumulating for billions of years, we just need to find an economical way to extract it.

Under our feet, the earth's crust sometimes hides more than rocks. In silence, it releases an invisible and flammable gas, produced for millions of years without any human intervention. Present in certain parts of the globe in a pure state, this gas is neither a myth nor a recent invention. It is natural hydrogen, a long ignored source of energy, whose potential would, in theory, compete with that of fossil energies. Powered by deep geochemical …
