Koloma has established an exclusive partnership with Xcalibur Smart Mapping to accelerate the discovery and development of geologic hydrogen resources worldwide. This collaboration unites Koloma’s advanced technology and data solutions with Xcalibur’s expertise in mapping hydrogen-rich geological formations, marking a key step toward unlocking the world’s vast geologic hydrogen potential With global energy demands rapidly […]
Hunting for Geologic Hydrogen

Koloma CEO Pete Johnson says that geologic hydrogen, if proven out, would be “world-changing” for the energy transition.
Why investors are betting big on geologic hydrogen
A new low-carbon fuel just got a major vote of confidence from investors.
The $245M bid to pull clean hydrogen straight from the earth

Demand for carbon-free hydrogen is rising. Startup Koloma aims to extract the gas from underground geologic deposits — and it just raised a ton of venture funding.
Meet the Explorationists Drilling for Hydrogen

US Senate Hearing to examine the opportunities and challenges associated with developing geologic hydrogen in the United States.
Greenhouse Gas Intensity of Geologic Hydrogen Produced from Subsurface Deposits
Natural geologic hydrogen (H2) could supply climate-friendly energy. We perform a prospective life cycle assessment (LCA) of a generic natural H2 production and processing system, using engineering physics and chemistry to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity. Our baseline case gas contains 85 mol % H2, 12% N2, and 1.5% CH4. Well productivity, depth, and other […]
Underground Hydrogen Could Supercharge Green Energy. First, Scientists Have to Find It.
It has the potential to power electrical grids, run factories, heat homes and propel vehicles when combined with a fuel cell
Uncovering hidden reserves of natural hydrogen
Recent discoveries have unearthed a bonanza of natural hydrogen in significantly larger quantities than was previously
A Gold Mine of Clean Energy May Be Hiding Under Our Feet
Hidden Hydrogen
IN THE SHADE of a mango tree, Mamadou Ngulo Konaré recounted the legendary event of his childhood. In 1987, well diggers had come to his village of Bourakébougou, Mali, to drill for water, but had given up on one dry borehole at a depth of 108 meters. “Meanwhile, wind was coming out of the hole,” […]
