HyTerra has secured a Permit to Drill for natural hydrogen and helium at its Nemaha Project site in Kansas, granted by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC). This milestone allows HyTerra to tap into the potential of natural hydrogen, with a well drilled in 2009 reporting high concentrations of hydrogen and helium. Avon McIntyre, the Executive Director of HyTerra, expressed the significance of this permit as a crucial milestone for the company. The project's strategic location near railways, roads, and ammonia production facilities positions it well to connect with hydrogen offtakers. Natural hydrogen, formed within the Earth's crust, is gaining attention for its potential as a low-cost and low-impact energy source. While extraction methods are still in their early stages, existing oil and gas technologies could be leveraged for this purpose. The article discusses the global interest in natural hydrogen, with increasing exploration ventures in countries like Australia, the US, Spain, France, and others. Rystad Energy's estimation of 40 companies actively searching for natural hydrogen deposits highlights the growing industry momentum. The industry is viewed as a potential game-changer for decarbonization efforts, attracting attention from investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers alike.
