There's enough natural hydrogen trapped underground to meet all projected demands for hundreds of years. An unpublished report by the US Geological Survey identifies it as a new primary resource, and fires the starter pistol on a new gold rush.

Great, have we solved the infrastructure and storage problem yet?

Until we can transport and store it easily, all the production in the world won't help.

Yes. It is just a matter of building that infrastructure. And we can reuse the natural gas infrastructure for most of it. People are basically stuck in the past on this subject.

This guy gets it. Doesn’t make sense when you have to move the stuff around a lot.

Would be great for hubs, like ship yards. But it’s way too easy for fossil fuel companies to keep producing it with dirty methods that release methane.
