Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. is partnering with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy to investigate geologic hydrogen production at their Stillwater West project in Montana. The project, funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency program, focuses on developing technology to extract hydrogen safely and economically at a commercial scale. Geologic hydrogen is formed naturally through processes like serpentinization in ultramafic rocks, offering continuous hydrogen production over geological timescales. Hydrogen is hailed as a clean energy source due to its ability to produce electricity with only water vapor as a byproduct, contrasting sharply with fossil fuels. The project aims to leverage the unique geology of the Stillwater Igneous Complex to potentially generate clean energy. Stillwater Critical Minerals President expressed excitement for the project, highlighting the company's commitment to sustainable practices. Researchers leading the project expressed optimism about the potential for geologic hydrogen generation. The project holds promise for revolutionizing energy production and contributing to a more sustainable future.
