Hydrogen
Supporting the advancement of the hydrogen economy through hydrogen exploration and hydrogen storage solutions
There are many steps in the value chain to developing a hydrogen economy. In the emerging natural hydrogen industry, the two critical steps are sourcing native hydrogen and then storing it.
How We Can Help
Our Approach
Explore Our Capabilities
If you are a white hydrogen (a.k.a. gold hydrogen) explorer, you face many of the same challenges as other subsurface industries. There are subsurface risk and uncertainty, drilling challenges, regulatory pressures, commitments to investors, requirements to engage with local communities and ensure safe and secure operations.
If you are building subsurface hydrogen stores, you are seeking to connect the best locations geographically within the proximity of hydrogen producers. You have choices between building salt caverns or using depleted hydrocarbon storage sites. Depending on local regulations and geology, you may be looking at offshore or onshore sites. Each comes with unique challenges and opportunities that you need to evaluate and understand.
Custom Solutions
Sproule ERCE’s Expertise
In the white hydrogen world, our team has been working globally with exploration companies in this emerging field. We have engaged in prospectivity evaluations in the USA, Europe and on-site drilling and well testing in Australia. We have also conducted independent resource assessments for prospective locations in various global locations.
In the storage world, Sproule ERCE has world class experience in molecule storage underground. Our experience was built in the natural gas storage world, extended into CO2 storage and now expanded into hydrogen storage. Our team of structural geoscientists can help you find the storage site opportunities and evaluate the subsurface risks associated with them.
All our clients benefit from our multidisciplinary approach where our geoscientists, engineers and economists work together to find solutions.
