Natural hydrogen accumulations are thought to arise from a variety of geologic processes.
According to Element One, potential natural hydrogen sources include:
• Deeply Buried Ultramafic Rocks Hydrogen forms through the serpentinization of ultramafic rocks buried deep in the Earth’s crust. Over time, this hydrogen can migrate upwards and accumulate in porous formations or structural traps.
• Radiogenic Sources Radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium within basement rocks can lead to hydrogen generation through water-rock interactions facilitated by radiolysis.
• Mantle Degassing Hydrogen can also be released directly from the Earth’s mantle through tectonic and volcanic processes, contributing to subsurface hydrogen reservoirs.
Element One prioritizes natural hydrogen exploration, while remaining open to stimulated production techniques in regions where geological conditions are favourable.
