Are Vast Amounts of Hydrogen Fuel Hidden Below Earth's Surface?

 

Are Vast Amounts of Hydrogen Fuel Hidden Below Earth's Surface?


The short answer is that we do not know! A longer answer can be found in THIS New Scientist Article.

A couple of emails ago I wrote about using ophiolites to produce hydrogen. Many people believe that you do not need to do that as there should be lots of hydrogen lurking below the earths surface. There is talk about quadrillions of tonnes. But so far only one deposit is known - (in Mali).

Finding other deposits is proving to be very difficult - unless they have been found and the finders are keeping quiet! We do not want to go down that rabbit hole! (A bore hole surely!)

I hope more evidence appears soon and we can stop following speculation.
