Good news-we may have to start another thread named as

Bye Bye Green Hydrogen , welcome white Hydrogen

So far, we had
“Gray Hydrogen ” made from Methane gas or popularly known as Natural Gas and if compressed known as CNG

“Brown Hydrogen” manufacturer from coal.

“Blue Hydrogen” is the same as gray, but with carbon capture

Now, comes White Hydrogen which is naturally occuring below earth’s surface.

It is definitely going to be a game changer for mitigating climate change if a large scale exploration is conducted across the globe for natural Hydrogen Gas.
In fact Our Chandrayan was also looking for presence of hydrogen in Moon.

Though the stories are anecdotal, it is quite promising.

The anecdotal story that how a driller of a Well got injured while smoking led to discovery of Hydrogen reminds me another such story where 5- 6 people died one after another while digging a deep well in a land for irrigation purpose. After digging a depth of 30ft, two people got suffocated and died. then two more people went to rescue , but never returned. then the word of mouth spread and all villagers gathered and some medico’s of the village came Forward to investigate…they lowered a lighted candle inside the well, after 20 ft deep, there were small explosions around the candle light and as the candle light was lowered further, it got extinguished for want of oxygen.
The doctors did few more tests to confirm that the gas was Hydrogen.
This has happened in India few decades back.
