The Hydrogen Podcast

Natural Hydrogen Gold Rush? | Petronas CCS Breakthrough + Kawasaki’s Hydrogen Robot Horse!


Listen Later

Is natural hydrogen the next big boom? In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we cover three fascinating developments shaping the hydrogen economy—from massive new discoveries to fun, futuristic tech.

🔍 What’s Inside Today’s Episode:

🌍 1. Natural Hydrogen Boom? (OilPrice.com)

  • How rainwater + rock = white hydrogen
  • Massive underground reserves from Nebraska to France
  • $1–$2/kg production potential = major economic upside
  • Could natural hydrogen rival blue and green hydrogen?

🌊 2. Petronas Moves on Offshore CCS (Upstream Online)

  • 5–10 million tons of CO₂ captured annually
  • Supports 1 million tons/year of blue hydrogen
  • $1–$1.5 billion CCS investment = $3–$4 billion hydrogen profit
  • Southeast Asia’s path to clean energy & hydrogen security

🤖 3. Kawasaki’s Hydrogen-Powered Robot Horse (MSN)

  • A rideable robot horse powered by hydrogen fuel cells
  • 20 hours of runtime, zero emissions, rugged terrain capabilities
  • Perfect for scenic rides, disaster response, or ag-tech
  • Uses a 1-kg metal hydride tank—no NOx, SOx, or PM2.5!

💬 Key Takeaway:

While we focus on massive infrastructure and energy systems, don’t overlook the frontier of innovation—from natural hydrogen drilling to hydrogen-powered robotics. The hydrogen future isn’t just coming… it’s already here.

📈 Whether it’s new supply, smart carbon capture, or surprisingly cool applications, hydrogen continues to prove its versatility across the energy landscape.
