THE EARTH BEST-KEPT SECRET
What is Hydrogen?
“Native”, “natural” or “white”, hydrogen is produced naturally within the subsurface and migrates extensively through the underground environment, both as a result of natural processes and fugitive emissions.
You might have heard of hydrogen...
the many facets
of hydrogen
Abundant
Hydrogen is the most widespread element in the universe, main constituent of the sun and most of the stars.
Natural
Its pure form, di-hydrogen, is being created naturally by chemical reactions in the earth’s crust.
The lightest
Hydrogen is the smallest and lightest molecule (14 times lighter than air).
Everywhere
From natural to fugitive emission, hydrogen is everywhere in subsurface
Non-toxic and odourless
In its pure form, di-hydrogen is invisible, odourless and non-toxic.
THe different
types of hydrogen
Grey hydrogen
from hydrocarbure
Market Leader, Low Cost, C-Emmiter
98% of the market
1 kg H2 for 11 kg CO2
Costs <2€/kg
Green hydrogen
from electrolysis
Electricity costs, poor energy efficiency, lack of supply chain control
< 1% of the market
1 kg H2 for 1-10 kg CO2
Costs 5-15€/kg
blue hydrogen
from hydrocarbure + carbon capture
Existing Infrastructure, 10 years old, Scaling Bottleneck
< 1% of the market
1 kg H2 for 3 kg CO2
Costs < 4€
Natural hydrogen
from the earth
No electricity/CCUS, Pilot Validation, Sovereign Reserves
New entrant in the market
1 kg H2 for < 1 kg CO2
Costs < 1€
In conclusion...
We focus on Subsurface hydrogen
By focusing on natural hydrogen, we unlock an abundant, low-cost, and carbon-free energy source that strengthens local energy sovereignty and enables big players to chose a path that creates positive climate.
But our mission is also to provide safety measures, as hydrogen can pose risks to some industries due to its flammability and leakage potential.
