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.
