Natural hydrogen, also referred to as ‘white hydrogen,’ has emerged as a promising energy source in the global push for decarbonization. Unlike hydrogen derived through electrolysis or from hydrocarbons, natural hydrogen is naturally occurring and continuously generated underground due to geochemical reactions. Researchers estimate Earth contains trillions of tonnes of this gas, which could supply clean energy for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. This renewable energy potential, coupled with zero carbon emissions when used, has put natural hydrogen at the forefront of global efforts to transition away from fossil fuels.
