First Atlantic Nickel Corp and the Colorado School of Mines have joined forces to explore the potential of geologic hydrogen in Newfoundland. The Canadian company disclosed plans to study geologic hydrogen, specifically gold hydrogen found in geological formations known as ophiolite complexes. These formations, particularly serpentinized peridotites, are identified as promising sources of hydrogen. While the technology for commercial-scale extraction is lacking, there is optimism about the viability of turning these projects into feasible nickel-hydrogen assets with further research and investment. Geologic hydrogen is suggested to be a future valuable energy resource, potentially cheaper and safer than traditional hydrogen production methods reliant on oil and gas. The Colorado School of Mines, with its expertise from the mining and oil/gas industries, aims to advance the exploration of geologic hydrogen. This partnership highlights the growing interest in alternative energy sources like hydrogen and the potential benefits it could offer in the energy sector.
