Natural Hydrogen Investment
Hydrogen could play a huge role in the energy transition, but only if it is cheap and widely available. This is exactly the promise of Natural Hydrogen: with no energy input, it is likely both the cheapest and cleanest type of hydrogen. As it is still early days for the space, investors possess an opportunity to invest in a potential world-changing industry before it takes off. In the Natural Hydrogen Investment podcast, we cover news, insights, and interview key players, to help you find your way around this nascent industry.

We've Solved Natural Hydrogen's Storage Problem - US Air Force Interview

One of the biggest obstacles to building a solid, reliable natural hydrogen industry has been the question of how to extract, store, and transport natural hydrogen once it has been extracted.
This issue may have been left in the past, thanks to Prometheus Hydrogen's proprietary metal hydride technology, which, amazingly, is currently being tested by the U.S. Air Force at multiple bases to demonstrate if it can withstand the test of real-world applications.
Hosts Anthony Muhye and Morten Stahl have sat down with two of the industry's leading figures and familiar guests, Dr. Richard Hartman (of the U.S. Air Force) and Dr. Douglas Wicks (natural hydrogen leading expert) to find out more about how this demonstration is taking place, what Prometheus Hydrogen is building, and what the objectives are for the U.S., the industry as a whole, and the future of energy as we know it.
