HyTerra Ltd (ASX: HYT), Helix Exploration PLC (HEX), and Prometheus Hydrogen have been identified as key industry partners for a U.S. Air Force initiative to demonstrate the feasibility of geologic (natural) hydrogen.
The project, spearheaded by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center's Office of Energy Assurance (AF OEA), aims to test hydrogen as a secure, cost-effective energy source for defense applications.
Key Details of the Initiative
Purpose: To assess the viability of using geologic hydrogen near Malmstrom AFB (Montana) and McConnell AFB (Kansas).
Selection Context: Following a Request for Information (RFI) that drew over 30 submissions, these companies were selected to deliver field-grounded data.
The Goal: The initiative focuses on evaluating production capacity, infrastructure, and costs, with a final report to include data from wells within 200 miles of the target bases.

Very interesting for sure and I’m currently looking into it further.
