Natural Hydrogen - clean energy right under our feet | Viacheslav Zgonnik | TEDxManhattanBeach
NOTE FROM TED: Research discussed in this talk remains an ongoing field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Renewable energy is growing but not fast enough says Viacheslav Zgonnik. He believes natural hydrogen, which forms naturally inside the Earth, is our path to significantly increase the world’s production of renewable energy. Clean to extract, use, and providing 24/7 base load power, natural hydrogen is a compelling new source of energy found right under our feet. #hydrogen #fossilfuels
Note: the easy to understand animations were created by Sasha Roshen.
For the past twelve years, Viacheslav has dedicated his research to exploring the vast potential of natural hydrogen. He has authored a comprehensive review and groundbreaking publications on this subject, offering a unique perspective on the widespread presence of hydrogen on Earth and its untapped possibilities.
Through his startup, Natural Hydrogen Energy, LLC, Viacheslav pioneers the exploration for geologically occurring hydrogen. His success hinges on innovation, imagination, and an entirely new exploratory paradigm. Adapting flexibly to a non-standard, resource-constrained environment, he has achieved a significant milestone by drilling the first deep well in the United States in search of natural hydrogen.
His primary scientific focus is on deep-seated hydrogen of primordial origin. Viacheslav firmly believes that the discoveries arising from this field will revolutionize our understanding of the planet’s past and future, providing us with a sustainable source of clean energy.

Great presentation. Lets make it happen now!
This was beautifully presented. Well done.
Great presentation looking forward to hear the progress on the project all the best
The sound level is terrible. I gave up listening.

It works fine on my PC and tablet. Sound's level is somehow low, but works well just by increasing the volume.

It sounds muffled likely due to the microphone picking up too much echo in the room instead of their using a line out from the PA. But it's still worth hearing. Click the CC Closed Caption option?
how about "geothermally induced Hydrogen"? Inject water into hot rock formations deep down the earth and allow temperature and pressure do the trick?
He forgot about nuclear

Which is interesting test if someone wants to talk about solutions that work (France decarbonised electricity 40years ago already) or is perhaps trying to sell some agenda.

But not to be negative, lack of nuclear mentioned is a small thing in this case- great talk and interesting topics. Will read authors review article to learn more!
The water produced by the oxidation of hydrogen will end up in the seas and oceans, helping to raise their water levels.

When natural hydrogen reaches the surface most of it is oxidized and ends up in form of water, naturally. Therefore using natural hydrogen will have negligible impact on natural water budget. However, hydrocarbons (oil and gas) while burned are producing water (because they are composed of carbon and hydrogen). Therefore, burning hydrocarbons produces water.

@@VZgonnik Industrial exploitation of hydrogen will speed up the natural process. Furthermore, there is no natural process for reducing dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) like there is for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2), namely photosynthesis. As a result, as soon as one oxygen atom is combined with two hydrogen atoms, it is definitively lost as a gas essential to life.
