Hydrogen is increasingly valuable across many applications and sectors due to its unique energy density properties. It’s the simplest and lightest chemical element, a colorless and odorless gas. And now that it’s known to exist in a natural, pure form in the earth’s subsurface, hydrogen is poised to turbo-charge the energy transition.

• Hydrogen is manufactured either as emissions-emitting energy produced through fossil fuels (99% of hydrogen today), or as “green” hydrogen (1% of hydrogen today) which requires a lot of water and power. Cost and technology challenges exist with both.

• The game-changer poised to revolutionize the energy industry is that naturally occurring hydrogen gas (“Natural Hydrogen”) is now being discovered in accumulations in the earth’s sub-surface.

• The world’s first discovery of natural, 98% pure hydrogen was in Mali, West Africa, where an entire village was quickly powered by emissions-free Natural Hydrogen at a fraction of the cost of manufactured hydrogen. Subsequent discoveries elsewhere in the world have demonstrated that Mali was not an isolated event.

Natural hydrogen could revolutionize our low carbon future by providing a low-cost, potentially naturally replenishing primary pure energy source.

Quite simply, Natural Hydrogen could become the 21st century version of the early 1900’s oil boom.

This early-stage opportunity could lead to Natural Hydrogen becoming the Energy King.
