Tasmanian Hydrogen
Exploring for natural hydrogen, a non hydrocarbon source of clean energy for the future.
Natural Hydrogen's endeavor to explore natural hydrogen is driven by a quest for scientific enlightenment and a deep thirst for understanding the intricate workings of the subsurface. Guided by a profound reverence for exploration and a commitment to expanding the boundaries of knowledge, Natural Hydrogen seeks to unlock the potential of naturally produced hydrogen. Through rigorous exploration and a steadfast dedication to responsible scientific inquiry, Natural Hydrogen aims to contribute to the advancement of clean energy solutions while maintaining high standards of responsible exploration and environmental stewardship.
What is natural hydrogen?
Natural hydrogen refers to molecular hydrogen (H2) found in the Earth's subsurface, often occurring in geological formations. Unlike hydrogen produced through industrial processes like electrolysis, natural hydrogen originates from natural geological processes. It can be found in various geological environments, including areas with volcanic activity, hydrocarbon deposits, or certain types of rocks rich in iron or alkaline substances. Natural hydrogen has garnered interest as a potential clean energy source, particularly for applications such as fuel cells or energy storage, due to its minimal environmental impact when used as a fuel.
Our Project
Natural Hydrogen holds two exploration licence areas in Tasmania—Orford and Franklin.
Orford (EL 11/2023): Granted in December 2024, covering 4,055 km², with a structured five-year work program focused on early de-risking through geological and geophysical studies. Initial efforts include resource assessment, airborne surveys, and community engagement, progressing to advanced exploration and stratigraphic drilling.
Franklin (EL 23/2024): Application registered in December 2024 for a 2,848 km² area. The proposed work program aligns with Orford’s, ensuring a consistent and strategic approach to exploration and sustainable energy development.
