"Unleashing Hydrogen: The Future of Renewable Energy"

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are pioneering a method to produce hydrogen from iron-rich rocks without CO2 emissions, potentially revolutionizing the hydrogen industry. The project aims to stimulate a natural geologic process called "serpentinization" using natural catalysts to produce hydrogen gas at lower temperatures and depths easily accessible by today’s technology. If successful, this could jump-start a brand-new type of hydrogen industry, offering a low-carbon alternative to current methods and significantly impacting the sustainable energy landscape.

Bill Gates Ventures into Clean Energy and Robotics for Sustainable Future

Denver-based startup Koloma, backed by Bill Gates's Breakthrough Energy Ventures, has raised $91 million to drill for geologic hydrogen, a carbon-free and highly energy-dense fuel found in vast deposits along tectonic plates. Geologic hydrogen has the potential to revolutionize the clean energy sector and tap into a $1 trillion market. Koloma is currently testing rock and gas samples from its first wells in the Midwest to determine the best sites for hydrogen extraction. The company believes that geologic hydrogen, which can be produced domestically, will be a cheaper and less energy-intensive alternative to green or blue hydrogen.
