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.

    3 fun fact:
    1.Dr.B was the first person to make the first hydrogen car
    2.Dr.B used his dads car to make the first hydrogen car
    3. scientist found out that the sun is mostly made of hydrogen
    Those are the 3 fun facts from today’s science live!

    As global demand for hydrogen grows (for energy, industry, transport), finding lower-cost or lower-emission sources is a major priority. White hydrogen could contribute if the geology cooperates.

    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 ❤️
