Aim The aim of this project is to elucidate key factors responsible for natural hydrogen generation in Australian subsurface environments. Significance Large amounts of this valuable resource are produced naturally with estimates of production rates of this “gold” hydrogen at least 100 times the annual demand for this critical resource. Expected Outcomes Based on improved understanding of the source of natural hydrogen, predictive tools will be developed that will assist in assessing the viability in Australia of hydrogen exploration and engineered retrieval. Benefits Ready access to naturally produced hydrogen could enable Australia to replace hydrogen that is currently generated via the use of unabated hydrocarbons.

目的 该项目的目的是阐明澳大利亚地下环境中天然制氢的关键因素。 意义 大量的这种宝贵的资源是自然产生的，估计这种“黄金”氢的生产率至少是这种关键资源年需求量的100倍。 预期成果 基于对天然氢来源的进一步了解，将开发预测工具，以协助评估澳大利亚氢勘探和工程回收的可行性。 好处 随时获得天然产生的氢气可以使澳大利亚能够取代目前通过使用未减少的碳氢化合物产生的氢气。
