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.

I just wanted to share that I’m dyslexic, and I’m really glad today’s lesson was a little bit about that!
Wow I always learn different things from science lives!
Deep hole hydrogen makes me have deeps thoughts about it. sounds cool!
Hydrogen is so interesting and mr.Billings makes it so easy to understand.
Superconductors are magnets and other materials cooled off to extremely low temperatures to have little to no friction.
R51 is so funny!
I never knew that hydrogen could be found in the ground.
hydrogen is amazing
learning about hydrogen is fun and interesting
Deep Hole sounds really interesting! It’s fascinating to see how hydrogen could change our future with many things!
The “Big Hole” is gonna be so much fun to follow!
That is SUPER cool
Project deep hole hydrogen is awesome!!
Do scientists believe that there are more galexies then one
I really like the super conductor and how it’s powered by super cold temperatures.
I love science live
This reminds me of space movies about spaceships from Earth running short of natural gases on their journeys and having to mine new planets!
Humanity has come so far in underground engineering.
Hydrogen is so cool! I had no idea it was under the ground that’s so intriguing.
Good video
Science live is very interesting
Our world is so big! Imagine the rest of the galaxy
I think there are more galaxies then just the one!
I didnt know hydrogen was underground. Thats so cool
Are there more than one galaxy’s in the univeres?
I like watching Science lives
Thank you
I really liked the guys high voice. Haha
How do you find a Hydrogen well🧐
Are you afraid when running a machine that it will explode?
How do they actually get the hydrogen out the ground for use
wow!
Didn’t know that Hydrogen can be in the ground. Always thought that gasses is only found in the atmosphere!
The idea of galaxies existing is so interesting me.
It’s carzy to think about how big the world truly is
I love learning new things about science
This episode is one of my new favorites! I even showed it to my little sister and she thought it was so interesting
It is astonishing how much we have advanced.
i love this school.
I still can’t really wrap my head around the existence of planets or galaxies, like it’s a bit uncanny to think that there is something that size out there.
Hydrogen is so interesting
I asked my dad about hydrogen and he said they have found a lot in the ground
Never knew there was this many forms of hydrogen!
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.
Deep Hole Hydrogen refers to naturally occurring clean hydrogen gas found deep within the earthś crust.
I love Acellus academy!
love this series of hydrogen its so fascinating
Science is one of my favorite subjects. Creating inventions is a lot of fun.
We never knew there were so many different kinds of hydrogen there is so much to know about this element
I love the way you guys teach us so much!!
Ooh! I’m super interested to see where Project Deep Hole goes!
Hydrogen is so cool
love this lecture. definitely one of my favorites
So cool to learn about hydrogen.
Super cool how hydrogen works!
I love all of you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hydrogen is very cool; it’s my favorite element!
We absolutely love this program is a perfect fit
I hope Dr. Roger Billings is able to make his idea to produce natural hydrogen come to fruition, it would be very interesting to learn about!
I love learning about deep hole hydrogen!!!
Dr. Billings I like your shirt
I never thought Hydrogen could be so interesting.
I wonder what the future will look like with hydrogen vehicles
i love when we talk about hydrogen i never knew where it came from thank you for telling me
I can’t believe how cool hydrogen sounds I’m excited for project deep hole!
I love all the hydrogen episodes!
i love that there are so many types of hydrogen
If everything goes as planned, by what year do you expect hydrogen to be the main source of energy?
I liked how It explains how hydrogen forms: deep beneath the Earth’s surface, through geologic and geochemical processes (rock-water interactions, faulting, etc.)
Science is so awesome
I never truly knew where hydrogen came from but now I do and it’s so cool.
I love being able to learn about hydrogen and where is comes from.
Hydrogen is so interesting!
i love Acellus
Acellus science lives are great!
Area 51 is my favorite I love how he thought he was running the machine with CO2 lol im dead!!!!!!!!
I love Acellus! It’s been a game changer for me.
I used to struggle a lot with math and was in a pretty similar situation to Maya, very nice to hear a story like hers.
I have disability and i love math
hydrogen is very cool.
Deep hole hydrogen is hydrogen found deep underground
Project Deep Hole, can’t wait to follow along. I hope you find it, and its tru to never know until you try and find it.
Hydrogen is super! I love hearing about it and its really cool.
I have a disability too. I have something called autism, so I learn differently. It is nice to see and hear people doing fun things, no matter what. I feel very good about that.
Hydrogen and carburetors are pretty interesting!
Hydrogen is so interesting!
Deep hole hydrogen is such an incredible concept. With everything hydrogen does for our world, it’s hard to imagine what we would do without it.
What is the temperature of a high temperature super conducter?
Hydrogen is a great energy source why aren’t we using hydrogen more?
I want to learn more about hydrogen and all it’s different uses.
Hydrogen is cool.
Deep hole hydrogen is more cooler than I though it would be
Hydrogen is a lot more interesting than people think, and its great to learn more about it!
i never knew that story about the laser and the discovery of black holes! wow so interesting!
As someone who struggled with math, it made me feel empowered to know there were others like me, and that we can do well in any subject at different times in life. It really is true you need to be a great scientist if you are happy…even more so with mental health.
I would love to see more people with disability accomplish goals, it motivates me so much!!
Hydrogen has way more behind it then i thought! it was so cool to hear about Maya, her story will help so many people!
Loved this epsiode!
Haha, the R51 bit was pretty funny, I like it when these videos have some fun memorable moments like that.
