Technology Description:

Pennsylvania State University is developing a method to extract hydrogen using carbon dioxide to deliver reactants to the subsurface and recover hydrogen. The approach would create a hydrogen reservoir by using carbon dioxide mineralization and would improve long-term hydrogen yield. The team will focus on controlling the hydrogen production from a geologic reservoir through carbon dioxide fracturing and mineralization to create or form new surfaces. Artificial reservoirs combined with biological stimulation could result in a unique and highly controlled system of geologic hydrogen management.
