Natural Hydrogen Prospect in Indonesia

Natural hydrogen has been overlooked since it was assumed rare or too difficult to be extracted. It also combined with the assumption that geological settings for natural hydrogen generation are likely unfavorable for oil and gas exploration. However, the exploration of “geologic” hydrogen is rapidly advancing. Recent findings suggest that previous exploration efforts may not have targeted the right locations with the appropriate technology.
