Natural Hydrogen: A Critical Juncture

The global energy landscape has undeniably shifted. Natural hydrogen, once a niche concept, has now firmly established itself as a critical component of the clean energy transition. While proven reserves are still being developed, the "if" of natural hydrogen has been answered – the question now is "when" and "where."

This paradigm shift is reflected in the growing global interest. HNAT 2024 witnessed participation from all continents, demonstrating the international commitment to this emerging energy source. Notably, Asia and the Middle East, previously less involved in exploration, have become active players.

Technological advancements are accelerating rapidly. Sophisticated softwares for fluid circulation and water/rock interaction modeling within basins, crucial for successful natural hydrogen exploration and production, are now available from the historical players but also a growing number of innovative companies. Similarly, advancements in exploration tools, such as airborne geophysics and advanced sensors, are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

However, despite this growing momentum, significant challenges remain. While some countries, like the United States, have created favorable investment climates, global investment in natural hydrogen remains relatively modest, especially in Europe. The financial world still grapples with the inherent risks associated with underground exploration. This disparity is particularly striking when compared to the massive investments flowing into other emerging energy technologies, such as nuclear fusion, which are still at early stages of development.

HNAT 2025 will serve as the premier platform to address these critical issues and chart a course for the future of natural hydrogen. It will bring together leading explorers, technologists, policymakers, investors, and end-users to discuss the latest advancements, share best practices, and forge the partnerships necessary to unlock the full potential of this transformative energy source.
