Deep Hole Hydrogen

October 15, 2025  •  EPISODE 282

Hidden far below the Earth’s surface may lie the key to a cleaner energy future. In this episode of Science LIVE, Dr. Roger Billings introduces Project Deep Hole—an ambitious effort to uncover naturally occurring hydrogen. Discover how this remarkable element forms deep underground, how scientists are locating and capturing it, and why it could revolutionize the way we power our world.

    Superconductors are magnets and other materials cooled off to extremely low temperatures to have little to no friction.

    This reminds me of space movies about spaceships from Earth running short of natural gases on their journeys and having to mine new planets!

    It’s crazy how hydrogen can be in the ground. It always seemed odd for gases to be anywhere other than the atmosphere, but it’s cool to see it elsewhere.

    I liked how It explains how hydrogen forms: deep beneath the Earth’s surface, through geologic and geochemical processes (rock-water interactions, faulting, etc.)
