The article discusses the growing interest in geologic hydrogen, a form of gas trapped underground or stimulated by interacting with certain mineral deposits. Proponents believe that geologic hydrogen could be a game-changer in the energy sector due to its abundance and low carbon emissions. Scientists and policymakers in Alaska are particularly intrigued by the potential of geologic hydrogen, viewing it as a promising future power source. The article focuses on Granite Creek Copper, a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company collaborating with Cornell University to explore geologic hydrogen at two sites near Ketchikan, Alaska. The project also includes investigating opportunities for carbon sequestration. With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, the research aims to analyze rock samples, develop a pilot project for hydrogen extraction, and potentially advance sustainable energy practices. Greeshma Gadikota, an engineering professor at Cornell leading the study, envisions the possibility of extracting hydrogen from rocks, mining them, and then using the cavities for carbon storage. The ultimate goal is to establish a model for environmentally responsible energy production that could lead to significant advancements in the industry.
