THE CONFERENCE TOPICS


Introduction

In 2025, activity surrounding natural H2 intensified, encompassing not only research, but also tool development, data acquisition, licensing, and drilling. The number of countries recognizing natural H2 as a resource and considering the issuance of exploration permits is increasing, though they remain a minority. Concurrently, interest from the financial sector in this activity is growing.

While the conference will address all these areas, a notable novelty this year is the provision of dedicated opportunities and spaces for specific discussions on the opening of mining domains in select countries. Beyond its potential as an energy revolution, natural hydrogen represents a nascent industry driven by pioneering entrepreneurs, creating new investment opportunities. HNAT 2025 will feature a dedicated space for investors to connect with these innovators.

Furthermore, a pre-field trip will be organized by operating companies in the Pyrenean zone to showcase their activities and the regional H2 system. Details regarding the pre-field trip will be communicated throughout the year.

Generation

Explore rock yield measurement, initial and remnant potential, reaction kinetics, and the critical role of water in natural hydrogen generation.

Exploration

Investigate passive and active geophysics, electricity profiles, magnetic fields, and gravimetry for effective hydrogen exploration.

Transport / migration

Understand the principles and modeling of hydrogen transport and accumulation, including free and dissolved gas dynamics.

System evaluation

Learn to rank areas, create play maps, and perform economic evaluations of hydrogen systems.

Drilling

Discuss logging, mud gas analysis, and safety issues related to hydrogen drilling operations.

Production

Value your H2. Evaluate the economic feasibility of co-producing H2 from geothermal steam and explore technologies for gas separation in blends (H2 and He/CH4/CO2).

Regional focus

Discover the latest developments and insights into hydrogen systems within Asia/Oceania, Middle East, Europe, Africa, North America and South America

Financing

Connect with investors through a unique investment session featuring company keynotes, management meetings, and exploration of investment opportunities.

National regulations

Address diverse mining laws and global awareness gaps through expert-led sessions on national regulations and the vital role of industry associations in promoting natural hydrogen adoption.
