Hydrogen Exploration – Is it a New Game Changer? (ETR06)

    Description

    The objective of this course is to introduce natural hydrogen as a potential future clean energy resource. It will also cover how to explore for it, as it may become the next game changer in the energy industry, providing a clean and sustainable solution for part of the global energy demand.
    This course provides an overview on hydrogen as an energy resource and the various colours of hydrogen. However, natural (white) hydrogen was until now not considered in the developments around the future energy system.
    This course highlights the current status of knowledge and latest developments around such a potential new energy opportunity, ie natural H2 exploration and production as part of the future energy mix. If further developments turn out to be successful, this could result in another unexpected game changer in the energy sector, similar to the unconventional revolution a few decades back. However, further research and investments in exploration are required to conclusively provide answers on size of the prize and feasibility of development of such a new energy resource.

    Course Level: Foundation
    Duration: 1 days
    Instructor: Jürgen Grötsch
