About

This Natural Hydrogen Exploration in KSA (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) aims at providing a first evaluation of the natural hydrogen potential of selected sites in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by applying an integrated approach combining field work and laboratory analyses.

Overview

Hydrogen (H2) is considered to play an essential role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting decarbonization, and ultimately, in achieving a future low-carbon energy system. As the demand for hydrogen is expected to vastly increase (double by 2030) and current production methods involve either high costs or significant CO2 emissions, natural hydrogen, also referred to as white or gold hydrogen, has moved into the focus of geosciences.

Key Facts

Field work consisting of soil gas measurements, gas flux measurements, and detailed characterizations of outcrops (e.g., potential source rocks such as ultramafic complexes) will be complemented by laboratory gas chromatography analyses (molecular composition of soil gas and stable carbon/hydrogen isotopy), water analyses (pH, dissolved anions/cations, dissolved gases), and fluid inclusion studies (Raman spectroscopy and microthermometry). 

By combining different disciplines (i.e., geochemistry, hydrogeology, mineralogy, and structural geology) different hydrogen system elements, in particular source and migration, will be targeted by the Natural Hydrogen Exploration in KSA (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .

Programme Structure

  • The main deliverable of the project will be a detailed report summarizing its results. 
  • Additionally, the results will be published in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., International Journal of Hydrogen Energy) and presented at scientific conferences
