Scientists have uncovered a massive hydrogen-rich system deep beneath the Pacific Ocean floor, revealing Earth’s potential to produce far more clean, natural hydrogen than we ever imagined.
Hydrogen is one of the cleanest fuels, producing only water when used, and until now, most of it has been made using fossil fuels. Discoveries like this suggest the Earth’s own processes might be tapped for lower-impact, renewable hydrogen, leading to greener energy systems around the world.
Hydrogen is the most common element in the solar system and a promising clean fuel. Yet on Earth, large natural stores have been difficult to find. Most hydrogen used today is produced through industrial methods that rely on fossil fuels. This new discovery suggests the planet itself may generate far more hydrogen than once believed.
