Alaska geologist Mark Myers is leading the charge in exploring underground reserves of hydrogen as a potential source of clean energy for the state. His interest was piqued by the discovery of hydrogen deposits in Mali, which fueled a village electric power plant. Myers is now optimistic about the existence of similar hydrogen reservoirs in Alaska's serpentinite rock formations. With a background in Alaska's oil industry and government, he recognizes the need for transitioning away from fossil fuels to combat climate change. The focus is on finding natural hydrogen sources that could serve as large storehouses of energy, complementing the current efforts to produce green hydrogen from water. Research indicates that subsurface hydrogen reservoirs may exist in various locations, sparking exploration activities to locate and assess these potential energy sources. While challenges such as accessibility and leakages pose obstacles, the prospect of tapping into even a fraction of these reserves presents a significant opportunity for carbon-free energy production. Geological surveys and advancements in extraction technologies are crucial in this pursuit, with initiatives underway to map out prospective hydrogen-rich areas in the U.S. Myers advocates for further research in Alaska, aiming to guide hydrogen exploration efforts in the state. As the search for natural hydrogen reserves intensifies, the possibility of leveraging this abundant resource for sustainable energy solutions emerges, offering a promising pathway towards a cleaner and greener future.
