Koloma CEO Pete Johnson says that geologic hydrogen, if proven out, would be “world-changing” for the energy transition.

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 […]

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,” […]
