Unveiling the Environmental Impact of Natural Subsurface Hydrogen Production

A life-cycle assessment conducted by Stanford University engineer Adam Brandt explores the feasibility of extracting hydrogen from natural subsurface accumulations, known as geological hydrogen extraction. The study examines the environmental impact, availability, and challenges associated with this method. While there are hurdles to overcome, Brandt suggests that further research into geological hydrogen extraction is warranted, as it has the potential to be no worse than "green hydrogen" produced by splitting water molecules.
