How the Earth's crust could power our clean energy future

Hydrogen is an essential part of modern society. It’s used to make fertilizers that feed half of the world’s population and is a key ingredient in plans to achieve a carbon-neutral future. But currently, most of the hydrogen we use is made from hydrocarbons, a process that releases harmful CO2 emissions. In fact, it’s responsible […] The post How the Earth’s crust could power our clean energy future appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.

Hidden Hydrogen Found in Earth's Crust Could Power Humanity for 170,000 Years!

A recent study, published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, reveals that the Earth’s continental crust could harbor enough hydrogen gas to meet humanity’s energy needs for at least 170,000 years. This discovery, led by researchers from the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto, suggests that natural geological hydrogen may be a promising, emission-free energy source for the future. The potential of this reso…

Hydrogen Exploration Blueprint for a Carbon-Free Energy Future

London, UK (SPX) May 14, 2025 In the race to reduce carbon emissions and secure sustainable energy sources, researchers from the University of Oxford, Durham University, and the University of Toronto have developed a detailed exploration strategy for finding naturally occurring hydrogen gas in the Earth's crust. This new approach aims to harness hydrogen from natural geological sources, offering a potentially carbon-free alt
