This amount of hydrogen contains roughly twice the energy stored in all known natural gas reserves on Earth.
The study’s findings challenge long-held beliefs about hydrogen’s behavior underground.
Additionally, some reserves might be too small for economically viable extraction.
“You want to make it when electricity is cheap and then you have to store it somewhere.
With natural hydrogen, you could just open a valve and close it whenever you needed it.”
However, the exact locations of these hydrogen reserves remain unknown, presenting the next challenge for researchers.
While the potential of this discovery is enormous, some experts urge caution.
He also emphasized the need for extensive supporting infrastructure.
