Interesting piece from SCIENCE BUSINESS 6th Jan 2022
Hydrogen could be taken straight from the ground to supplement hydrogen derived from fossil fuels and renewables, according to scientists researching this underexplored alternative.
Natural, or white, hydrogen is continuously produced in the earth’s crust, and scientists are now discovering there’s much more of it stored underground than previously thought.
It’s a renewable resource that can be captured by simply drilling a well. One such pool was found in Mali in the 1980s, but it took decades before someone proposed to extract the gas. Today, the well gives out 98% pure hydrogen and has not recorded any decrease in production since extraction started in 2012.
“The real challenge now is to find places in the world where the flux is high enough and the concentration is high enough,” said Nick Arndt, emeritus professor of geochemistry at the Grenoble Alpes University. “So currently, [scientists] are looking in places in the world where we know that there is a flux of hydrogen.”
Industry is ready to hop on the natural hydrogen train too. The French energy company Engie has been exploring the potential of natural hydrogen since 2016. It started off with projects in Brazil, where the company developed sensors to monitor the flux of hydrogen in specific areas, and has since expanded to other areas in the world.
Now, competition is picking up as start-ups and bigger companies turn to natural hydrogen, rushing to get licenses to explore its potential. “There is a lot of competition. We saw that in the South Australia state when they opened the mining rights to natural hydrogen exploration,” said Olivier Lhote, special adviser on hydrogen at Engie.
Nice Picture - Zenith Energy talking up the find.
Nice hashtag : Helium Prodrill Energy Resource Solutions part of Zenith Energy Limited
Mike is in that picture, but Lorna has gone off to the Office Cabin to do the Proactive Interview!
Check your figures TL
Don't think your multiplication works our correctly?
Joe
An Airship maybe!
Thats how they may get the gas to the USA - fill the Airships up in Tanny, fly them to USA, unload, then flatpack them and air freight them back to Tanny!
Now that's a Solution America would go for! lol
Joe
Might be no helium left if we need to lift Our Mike after his Crimbo excesses. Lol
BB
Military carry gases in weapons on flights routinely so would imagine cargo carriers would have provision to do so in certain circumstances.
It’ll be done sooner rather than later!

A live option would be to drill the other already prepared Pad at Itumbula, and potentially have 2 production Wells using the same infrastructure which is in place now, as in Road access, Camp facilities and the ease of linking the 2 together by pipeline as they are only 1.2km apart!
Could double the production output if Itumbula 1 turned out to be as fruitful as Itumbula West 1 is shaping up to be!
Also a very “Cost Effective “ next move!
All in my own opinion. GLA
Can the BOD sack Liberum and appoint another, and what would the likely reaction on the market?
Joe/Roger
Lab tests could be at Oxford uni, what with the historical links to the research done on Helium in Tanzania
They would fast track IMO
Sandy
Away and pull yer Tadger behind the School Bikeshed, ya nerd!
Delayed trade, nothing more!
Welcome back Skittish - reinvigorated and in Profit hopefully !
Good Article by ALLY Mayala
Could Ally be a He or a She, probably either with a name like that! lol
No it won't!
Don't think OTC has traded more than 1m shares in a day since it was set up!
604,00 traded yesterday.
Serious US traders on AIM at 8am this morning, same as the rest of us!
Day traders taking their 5% and selling, slowing the inevitable rise, but momentum will be huge once the stone starts rolling!
That’s 4% of the new Share Total !
We could be bought out by tea-time lol
Agree Joe
Someone has opened the doors of the Asylum !
If we get an RNS to detail funds remaining and where they are to be allocated (in HE1 terms a VERY loose guesstimate lol) then we can move onwards and upwards!
Sarah Cope is most definitely the Puppeteer pulling everyone else’s strings IMO, however at the end of the day the Gas will do the talking!
Its Sarah Cope that needs to leave the Board, mate, not me! lol
Good likelihood our Samples for Testing could be going here due to the Historic link with the University/Helium Studies/Tanzania - Got it laid out correctly this time!
Oxford Uni
Noble Lab
Our group uses the unique properties of the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton and xenon) to understand the role that fluids and gases play in geological systems.
The noble gas abundance and isotopic composition of natural samples are determined by static sector gas-source mass spectrometers. Recent advances in multi-collector technology provide us with an unprecedented improvement in the precision and accuracy of sample isotope ratio determination, and in particular for the heavier noble gases. The Oxford laboratory currently hosts a suite of Thermo instruments and includes a Helix-MC, Helix-SFT, and Argus VI – each providing state of the art multi-collection capability for different sample types.
Heres hoping they are on a plane or arrived as we speak, and will be fast tracked, as the Uni will be as eager to find out as us shareholders and the management!
Up, up and away !
