The hype around natural hydrogen continues to build.

While there’s a lot of pessimism about the number of failing projects in man-made (green) hydrogen, there’s no doubt there is a more hopeful tone about natural hydrogen, now that we and others have proved it exists, and only the path to commercialisation needs firming up.

Take the latest major report out, this one from the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of sciences and the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.

It says natural hydrogen "could be a game changer" for carbon zero goals.

"Discoveries of significant accumulations of natural hydrogen in the continents, in traps that are sustained by hydrogen fluxes of this magnitude, could be a game changer," the report says.

"Even capturing a small proportion for commercial use could enable natural hydrogen to play a significant role in the coming years."

Helpfully, it says finds in regional hubs with good hydrogen infrastructure are likely to be the easiest to get up and running. With the work the South Australian Government is putting in, that’s us.

The society’s full policy briefing can be found here.

The well respected BBC is the latest major global media brand to dedicate time to investigating the natural hydrogen phenomenon.

In a lengthy article on the exploration boom, it reported US estimates of gas reserves, saying: "If just 2% of this white hydrogen was recoverable, it could meet projected global hydrogen demand for around 200 years." That article is here.

Meanwhile, one piece of news we are keeping a close eye on, bearing in mind potential uses for our hydrogen, is this piece about Japanese plans to build a new ammonia import terminal, which would receive and store vast quantities of clean hydrogen-derived ammonia.

On the local front, Brisbane’s own Exploring Hydrogen podcast has been rated one of the best listens worldwide within the hydrogen sector.

And Gold Hydrogen featured on it this week. Kudos to broadcaster Andy Marsland for the listenership he’s gained and it’s probably the most well-rounded discussion on the impact natural hydrogen can have that I’ve been involved with. Have a listen here.

Finally, it was excellent to read how Hyundai’s innovative hydrogen powered trucks are to be made right-hand drive for the Australian market right here in Brisbane.

Congratulations to BOSSCAP Group, who will get the Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell hydrogen truck operating here as an eco-friendly option. Full story here.
