The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will review efforts to drill for hydrogen and use it as zero-carbon fuel.
The full committee — led by Chair Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) — will meet for the hearing titled “Opportunities and Challenges Associated With Developing Geologic Hydrogen in the United States.”
The CEO of a startup looking for locations to drill for geologic hydrogen in the U.S. will testify, along with an official from the Energy and Interior departments.
Experts say geologic hydrogen could provide the U.S. with an abundant source of cheap and clean energy. However, there are only a handful of startups in the U.S. that have announced plans to drill geologic hydrogen from the ground, and none of them has reached commercial scale.
