Native hydrogen – gas surface seepage
We have successfully applied soil-gas monitoring techniques to test for the presence of natural hydrogen seeps in Australia.

Raman spectroscopy experimental mixed gas H2-CH4-brine EOS calibration for hydrogen storage
A new calibration dataset for the system H2-CH4-H2O and its implementation in a new Equation Of State will enable us to model H2 behaviour in depleted oil and gas reservoirs.
