Alaska geologist Mark Myers is on a mission to discover underground reserves of hydrogen that could potentially fuel a new state energy industry. His interest in hydrogen as an energy source is motivated by his concerns about climate change and the necessity to move away from fossil fuels. Myers is hopeful that hydrogen deposits exist in Alaska, particularly in metamorphic rock formations known as serpentinite. Research efforts have been focused on finding naturally forming hydrogen reservoirs, with promising discoveries in Mali and South Australia. Geological mapping is being conducted in the U.S. to identify areas with potential hydrogen reserves, with initial prospects in the Great Plains and the Atlantic coastal plain. Despite challenges such as accessibility and quantities of extractable hydrogen, the exploration for hydrogen as a carbon-free energy source shows promise. Myers and his team are actively pursuing further research and geological fieldwork to advance the understanding and utilization of hydrogen resources.
