SUMMARY:EVENT POSTPONED Natural Hydrogen: An Overlooked Potential Energy Re
 source
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Due to the ongoing federal shutdown\, Dr. Geoffrey Elli
 s' visit to Iowa State University is postponed. We will announce new dates
  as soon as possible.\n\nThis lecture explores the growing role of hydroge
 n in the global energy transition\, particularly the increasing demand for
  blue and green hydrogen to meet climate goals. While hydrogen is currentl
 y seen mainly as an energy carrier\, there is renewed interest in explorin
 g naturally occurring subsurface hydrogen as a potential resource. Recent 
 discoveries suggest geoscientists may have underestimated natural hydrogen
 ’s economic potential due to limited exploration methods. The talk will 
 examine what is known\, what remains uncertain\, and what advancements are
  needed to tap into this overlooked energy source. \n\nGeoffrey Ellis is a
  research geologist and the project chief of the Potential for Geologic Hy
 drogen Gas Resources project within the U.S. Geological Survey. He is also
  an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Geology and Geological 
 Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines.  He holds a bachelor’s deg
 ree in geological sciences from Cornell University\, a master’s degree i
 n geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines\, a doctorate in marine g
 eology and geophysics from the University of Miami\, and post-doctoral exp
 erience at the California Institute of Technology. He has worked for more 
 than 30 years conducting research and exploration related to energy resour
 ces and associated environmental issues.\n\nThis lecture recording can be 
 found on the Available Recordings page approximately two business days a
 fter the event and will remain accessible for three weeks.
