Hidden hydrogen: Does Earth hold vast stores of a renewable, carbon-free fuel?
IN THE SHADE of a mango tree, Mamadou Ngulo Konaré recounted the legendary event of his childhood. In 1987, well diggers had come to his village of Bourakébougou, Mali, to drill for water, but had given up on one dry borehole at a depth of 108 meters. “Meanwhile, wind was coming out of the hole,” Konaré told Denis Brière, a petrophysicist and vice president at Chapman […]
Accelerating Decarbonization of the U.S. Energy System
“The US will need on the order of 56 to 133 MMt of clean hydrogen by mid-century—roughly 5 to 15 times the amount of current hydrogen production in the US.” The world is transforming its energy system from one dominated by fossil fuel combustion to one with net-zero emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gas. This energy transition is critical to mitigating […]
