Task 49 Natural Hydrogen team (IEA Hydrogen TCP ) is proud to have participated in the Global Hydrogen Review 2024 by writing the section on Natural Hydrogen. This report was published by the International Energy Agency in October 2024. Thanks to Jean Gaucher from LH2G and Omid H. Ardakani from (Natural Ressources Canada) for their contribution.

“Natural hydrogen can be generated through multiple routes, such as biological reactions, geothermal activity, serpentinisation and radiolysis, among others, and the characteristics of the gas generated, such as its purity, will often depend on the route of generation. Exploration and development of natural hydrogen has been gathering steam during the past years, and in the following section we briefly summarise the progress made. Nevertheless, as of August 2024, there are no natural hydrogen wells that have demonstrated commercial feasibility.“
