    About White Hydrogen

    • Occurrence: Like oil and gas, white hydrogen is naturally occurring, generated by continuous geochemical reactions in hard rock.
    • Characteristics: Differs from hydrocarbon molecules as it is small and light and more likely to escape cap rocks.
    • Status: Currently, the white hydrogen industry is in nascent stage with only a handful of innovators. 

    Advantages of White Hydrogen

    • Naturally Occurring: Unlike other forms of Hydrogen, and hence requires no industrial production. 
    • Environmentally Superior: Does not emit Carbon.
    • Cost Effective: Does not require inefficient energy conversion or manufacturing processes, can be produced at scale from reservoirs sited close to end-user markets. 
    • Co-existence with Helium:  Offering a valuable commercial lever for white hydrogen exploitation.
