What is gold hydrogen?
Gold hydrogen represents a novel approach that bridges the oil and gas industry with hydrogen production. It is created by introducing specific bacteria into depleted or abandoned oil wells. These bacteria convert the residual hydrocarbons within these wells into hydrogen gas (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The hydrogen is then harvested for use, while the CO2 is captured and stored underground (sequestered), resulting in a process that has zero to negative carbon emissions.
