“Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
Earth is believed to have high enough concentrations of white hydrogen (the naturally-occurring form of the gas) to fuel humanity’s energy needs for 170,000 years.
A new study measured hydrogen escaping from boreholes drilled in the Canadian Shield, tracking how the gas builds up and where it’s concentrated.
Tapping natural reserves of hydrogen could not only unleash a new, reliable form of green energy, but could clean up industries that rely on the gas.”
