Hydrogen is a cornerstone of the global energy transition, with demand expected to double by 2030. While green hydrogen has gained attention for its sustainability, natural hydrogen is emerging as a game-changer due to its low production costs and lack of greenhouse gas emissions.
At Getech, we utilise a Mineral Systems Analytical Approach to identify natural hydrogen deposits in the subsurface. By drawing parallels with well-established methodologies from the hydrocarbon and mineral exploration industries, we investigate key components of natural hydrogen systems, including sources, migration pathways, reservoirs and seals. The integration of proprietary data sets, advanced geospatial risk mapping and machine learning techniques allows for the creation of favourability maps that guide exploration efforts with greater precision.
Through this approach, we aim to provide a robust framework for understanding the genetic and structural factors that control natural hydrogen occurrences. These insights contribute to the development of a systematic exploration strategy, addressing knowledge gaps and enhancing the likelihood of successful discoveries.
