HYDROGEN SOURCES

Current hydrogen supply is both costly and/or dirty but discovery of natural hydrogen reserves could be the solution:
GREY/BLUE HYDROGEN

Produced from fossil fuels accounts for ~95% of production and costs1 ~$2/kg2

GREEN HYDROGEN

Produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis costs 3x higher (vs. grey hydrogen)2

NATURAL HYDROGEN

Produced at a cost as low as $0.5-1/kg before taking into account subsidies or production tax credits which go up to $3/kg2

HYDROGEN EXPLORATION

HYDROGEN GEOLOGY

FOREST RINGS

Peculiar circular impressions in boreal forests of northern Canada which are commonly hundreds of meters in diameter and centered on accumulations of chemically reduced substances in groundwater, overburden, or rock. The circular outlines are defined by a change in vegetation at the rims of the rings.3

  • Research suggests a hydrogen rich horizon within the overburden and adjacent to forest rings in northern Ontario.3
  • Hydrogen appears to be generated during the alteration/weathering of pyrite-bearing intrusions associated with the bedrock and soil interface.
  • Our exploration strategy will focus on exploring for natural hydrogen accumulations within these forest ring features.
