A new report from Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of New South Wales has revealed elevated levels of natural hydrogen and helium throughout New South Wales, making Australia one of the most promising locations for natural hydrogen exploration. This discovery follows a trend sparked by the finding of a high-purity natural hydrogen gas field in Mali in 2018, driving global interest in this emerging energy source. The report not only offers geological information but also a methodology for testing soil gas samples for natural hydrogen, enhancing the scientific approach to exploring this field. Hydrogen's potential as a clean, emission-free energy source is emphasized, with a focus on its applications in reducing carbon emissions in industrial processes and industries such as iron and steelmaking. The Federal Minister for Resources, Madeleine King, and the Acting New South Wales Minister for Natural Resources, John Graham, both express optimism about Australia's geology and the opportunities it presents for alternative energy and storage solutions. They highlight the commitment of the government to utilizing natural resources to build a future powered by clean energy and innovation. The report signifies a step towards understanding and leveraging natural hydrogen and helium for economic and environmental benefits, paving the way for a transition to a net-zero future built on sustainable energy sources.
