Orange hydrogen

Orange hydrogen is a proactive take on natural hydrogen. It is formed by injecting a carbon-enriched solution into a reactive formation, and then collecting the hydrogen-saturated water from recovery wells surrounding the injection point. The color refers to the color of oxidized iron. The real game-changing impact of Orange hydrogen, is that the very same formations which naturally produce hydrogen are also the perfect location for carbon sequestration.

Our team’s research focuses on understanding the stimulated hydrogen generation induced by geochemical reactions between CO₂-saturated water and mafic/ultramafic rocks, both through experimental studies at high-pressure high-temperature conditions and sophisticated geochemical modeling techniques.
