The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has unveiled a pioneering map showcasing the potential for geologic hydrogen resources across the contiguous United States. This groundbreaking publication highlights regions with favorable conditions for the accumulation of geologic hydrogen, including sections of Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, California, and the Eastern seaboard. The map, the first of its kind at a continental scale worldwide, is a product of advanced methodologies and research by USGS geologists Geoff Ellis and Sarah Gelman. Their analysis suggests the significant energy content of recoverable hydrogen surpasses that of proven natural gas reserves globally. While uncertainties persist about the distribution and economic viability of these resources, the map serves as a vital tool for identifying areas with high prospectivity for geologic hydrogen. Geologists anticipate that geologic hydrogen could play a crucial role as an emerging energy resource, potentially providing low-cost feedstock for critical chemicals and supporting efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector. The USGS emphasizes that the map will be continually updated to reflect advancements in scientific understanding and exploration, offering valuable insights for state authorities, industries, and the nation to enhance and diversify their energy portfolios.
