Beneath the surface: What you need to know about geologic hydrogen
Hydrogen has long played a vital role in the industrial landscape, from fertilizer production to petroleum refining. It will remain essential in a decarbonizing economy, where it is uniquely positioned to replace today’s carbon-intensive hydrogen use in “no-regrets” sectors such as hard-to-electrify industries, fertilizer production, petroleum refining, maritime shipping, heavy-duty trucking, and aviation. As momentum builds behind…
