Last week, IPHE (International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy) organised a webinar addressing #NaturalHydrogen where Dr. Eric C. Gaucher and Dr. Olivier Sissmann, co-leaders of the Task 49 of the IEA Hydrogen TCP , explained the basics of this type of #hydrogen and presented activities of the Task 49. The recording is now available on the IPHE website and can be accessed here: https://lnkd.in/dfeHHH_G

Today we are pleased to share with you a new publication in AAAS' Science Advances (https://lnkd.in/dDgwRMcP). It's a paper first authored by Dr. Frank Zwaan and prepared with a very good team from Germany, GFZ Postdam, (Sascha Brune, Anne Glerum), from USA, Tufts university (Alexander Dylan Vasey), New Mexico Tech (John Naliboff) and from France, Uni Strasbourg ( Gianreto Manatschal ) and finally at Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult (Eric C. Gaucher ). The main question remaining in #naturalhydrogen exploration is the economic volumes we could produce to fuel the energy transition. Our work provides encouraging figures on this point and highlights certain tectonic zones where the chances of success are greater for deep exploration drilling. Read this work and form your own opinion on its quality and whether it is useful to you and tell us what you think! At Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult, we're not going to revolutionize the field of natural hydrogen, we're taking it one step at a time, aiming for scientific excellence and covering a broad spectrum of activities to develop this new field. (https://lnkd.in/dXwB7PQ4). At Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult, we are at your service to develop good projects and good prospects around natural hydrogen.
🚨 Brand new paper alert! Are you interested in natural hydrogen gas (H2), a potential green energy source? Check out our new paper in the AAAS' Science Advances (a sister journal of Science Magazine), in which we show that natural H2 exploration should focus on mountain ranges. 😃 Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/e5d6B-WZ A promising natural H2 source is the serpentinization of exhumed mantle material as it reacts with water. Using state-of-the-art geodynamic modelling methods, we trace where serpentinization is likely to occur during rifting and subsequent basin inversion / mountain building. Serpentinization-related H2 generation is best known from rifted margins and spreading ridges. Yet, we surprisingly find that yearly serpentinization capacity (and thus natural H2 generation capacity) can be up to 20x higher during mountain building than during initial rifting. Combined with the much more likely presence of reservoir rocks that would allow for H2 accumulation during bulk serpentinization (in contrast to deep marine rift basins), mountain ranges are the place to be for natural H2 exploration! We propose an orogenic natural H2 system concept, which shows the key ingredients for the successful development of natural H2 accumulations that can be drilled and explored. Alternatively, we may also consider directly drilling into the serpentinizing mantle rocks themselves. Our work shows the importance of understanding the geodynamic factors that control the distribution of natural resources (and the use of modelling work). Such insights are of particular importance for the energy transition, given the vast amounts of resources we will need. A big thank you to my co-authors Sascha Brune, Anne Glerum, Dylan Vasey, John Naliboff, Gianreto Manatschal, and Eric C. Gaucher, from GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, University of Potsdam, Tufts University, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, University of Strasbourg, and Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult for their help and support during this exciting research Many thanks also to GFZ colleagues, reviewers, the paper editor, and the CIG / ASPECT development team. This research was principally funded through a GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences Discovery Fellowship, with additional (financial) support from European Research Council (ERC), Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft / Helmholtz Association, University of Strasbourg, CNRS, Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult, and the Alliance for National High Performance Computing in Germany. I was also a visiting scientist at Université de Fribourg - Universität Freiburg during part of this research.
Radio-Canada a interviewé Eric C. Gaucher dimanche dernier suite au travail de Geoffrey Ellis et de son équipe de l’U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sur la cartographie des probabilités de trouver de l'hydrogène naturel aux USA. Nous avons pu continuer la vulgarisation autour de ce sujet et parler de la stimulation de la production d'hydrogène naturel à partir de roches avec les solutions technologiques à base des catalyseurs élaborés par RockyH2. https://lnkd.in/dxY3Vx6u #hydrogène #naturalhydrogen #hydrogènenaturel #greenhydrogen

My last conference of 2024 was held in Nouméa, New Caledonia (DEC 20, 2024) in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult (Eric C. Gaucher & Jean Gaucher) and BRGM (Frédérick Gal & Vincent Mardhel) teamed up for a major natural hydrogen exploration in southern New Caledonia in the three weeks leading up to the conference. We revisited known hydrogen seeps and discovered new locations despite the hyperoxidizing environment imposed by the laterite that covers the surface of this region. The geologists of DIMENC (Olivier MONGE, Willy Foucher, Nadege Champillou, Angéline Goué) and CNRTEC (Fabien Trotet) have greatly helped our research with their excellent knowledge of the local geology and of the deep structure of the island. Promising results could open New Caledonia to industrial exploration of natural Hydrogen in the coming years with our partner: the government of the South Province (Laurent D. Desvals, Grégory BECUWE, Raphael larvor). This expedition was great and very exciting, and probably one of the best of my career as a hydrogen explorer. Happy New Year 2025 to the entire Natural Hydrogen community!

Task 49 Natural Hydrogen team (IEA Hydrogen TCP ) is proud to have participated in the Global Hydrogen Review 2024 by writing the section on Natural Hydrogen. This report was published by the International Energy Agency in October 2024. Thanks to Jean Gaucher and Omid H.

Dans le cadre du projet H2NA (Hydrogène en Nouvelle-Aquitaine) soutenu par la Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine en lien avec plusieurs industriels (CVA Group, 45-8 ENERGY, ENGIE, Lavoisier H2 Geoconsult), le BRGM et l'Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, nous recrutons un post-doctorant pour une durée de 1 an. Le post-doctorant, basé à l'UPPA, procèdera à l'analyse pédologique et géochimique (gaz, eau) de sites caractérisés par la présence d'émanations d'H2 naturel. Les objectifs seront (i) de mieux cerner le rôle joué par le sol sur la rétention et la diffusion de l'hydrogène en surface, (ii) de détailler l'origine de l'hydrogène naturel (source, chemins de migrations) et (iii) de comprendre son intégration dans un schéma hydrogéologique régional. Le profil attendu est idéalement celui d'un pédologue souhaitant acquérir de nouvelles compétences en géochimie des gaz et eaux, ou bien celui d'un géologue / géochimiste à partir de janvier 2025.
