White Hydrogen

October 8, 2025  •  EPISODE 281

What is “white hydrogen,” and how might it reshape our energy future? In this episode of Science LIVE, Dr. Roger Billings breaks down the concept of white hydrogen—what it is, how it differs from “green” and “blue” hydrogen, and where it fits into the growing hydrogen economy. Explore the science behind this naturally occurring energy source, its real-world potential, and the challenges that stand in the way of making it a sustainable solution for the future.

    It is crazy to think something as simple as hydrogen has such complex behavior at the atomic level!

    Amazing we only see in red green and blue. Including the card of additional colors help to view additional images. Spectrometers, used to check authenticity if its from a long time ago. The technology is just mindblowing.

    I didn’t realize this topic would be so interesting. I am amazed at how much hydrogen the U.S. has. It makes me wonder if we will ever run out, or if we can keep sustaining the world the way in which we do today.

    White Hydrogen is super interesting! The idea of naturally occurring hydrogen reserves is really promising for clean energy. I wonder how feasible it is to extract and utilize it on a large scale, but it definitely opens up some exciting possibilities for the future of energy!

    if hydrogen is made from natural gasses why couldn’t we just run most of everything on it for years?

    If there is enough hydrogen in just America alone to run for thousands of years, how long do you think it would roughly take for all of the hydrogen in the world?

    I thought Helium was the only gas that if you inhaled it would make your voice higher pitched, Although it makes sense, hydrogen is the lightest element while helium is the second lightest.

    This white hydrogen discovery is pretty mind-blowing, think about it – naturally occurring hydrogen, like a hidden treasure from deep within the Earth. It’s a completely different ballgame compared to producing hydrogen from natural gas or renewable sources. If we can tap into it sustainably, it’s a massive win for clean energy ❤️
