OIES Podcast – The Prospects for Natural and Stimulated Hydrogen

In this latest OIES podcast, from the Hydrogen Programme, James Henderson talks to Aliaksei Patonia and Martin Lambert about two recent papers on the potential for developing natural and stimulated hydrogen. The podcast begins with an overview of the current state of the hydrogen market and the reasons behind the new interest in natural and stimulated hydrogen before moving on to discuss how natural hydrogen is found and developed. A discussion around the key challenges focuses on the one field put into production so far, in Mali, and we also explore the key drivers of the economics of hydrogen production. We move on to a description of the key technologies being used to develop stimulated hydrogen and the potential size of the resource base, before looking at the cost comparisons with blue and green hydrogen. We look at the possible environmental challenges before concluding with a summary of the outlook for natural and stimulated hydrogen and the timescale for seeing significant production.
