Penn State researchers received US$1.1mm from the US Department of Energy's ARPA-E to advance low-cost, low-emissions natural hydrogen production. This two-year project aims to develop methods using carbon dioxide to extract hydrogen from Earth's subsurface, enhancing hydrogen yield through CO2 fracturing and mineralisation. The team will leverage the serpentinisation process in olivine-rich peridotite formations, employing dynamic fracturing technology and carbon-rich solutions to sustain hydrogen production. The research will include reservoir site identification, micro-seismicity tests, and a techno-economic analysis.
