Alaska Energy Metals Explores Potential for White Hydrogen in Quebec
Key Ideas
- Alaska Energy Metals plans to conduct a hydrogen soil gas survey over its Angliers-Belleterre Project in Quebec to determine the potential for natural white hydrogen accumulations.
- The discovery of hydrogen soil gas anomalies in the region by adjacent claim owner Quebec Innovative Materials Corporation indicates the likelihood of hydrogen accumulations in the Lake Timiskaming Basin.
- White hydrogen, a low-cost, low-emission, and renewable energy source, is gaining prominence globally, driving the growing interest in natural hydrogen exploration.
- The company's exploration aims to identify the required geological features for white hydrogen formation, including gas migration pathways and reservoir rocks that can trap hydrogen gas accumulations.
Alaska Energy Metals Corporation has announced plans to survey for hydrogen soil gas over a portion of its Angliers-Belleterre Project in Quebec to assess the potential for natural white hydrogen accumulations. Recent data from adjacent claims by Quebec Innovative Materials Corporation revealed hydrogen soil gas anomalies, suggesting the presence of hydrogen accumulations in the Lake Timiskaming Basin. The company intends to collect 400 soil gas samples to analyze potential hydrogen gas trapped in rocks below the surface. Chief Geoscientist Gabe Graf highlighted the growing interest in natural hydrogen as a clean energy source and the significance of identifying the necessary geological conditions for white hydrogen formation. The exploration will focus on identifying gas migration pathways and reservoir rocks that can potentially trap hydrogen gas accumulations. Alaska Energy Metals aims to advance its nickel-copper targets while exploring the potential for white hydrogen on its claims. The company's efforts align with the industry's and governments' interest in natural hydrogen exploration for a sustainable energy future.
