A review on occurrence, mechanism and distribution of natural hydrogen as a promising energy source

초록

Natural hydrogen has recently emerged as a promising energy source due to its environment-friendly and highly efficient potential as a fuel, attracting interest from various countries including Australia, Brazil, USA and many European countries for research and investigation. This paper aims to provide a deep exploration of the occurrence mechanism and distribution of natural hydrogen, including its underground existence, geological factors regulating underground distribution, geochemical processes, and mantle origin. To achieve this, we have synthesized research findings on natural hydrogen from high-quality research papers indexed in the international scholarly database, Web of Science. Through this process, our goal is to enhance our understanding of natural hydrogen as a viable energy option for addressing current electrical, geological, and climatic challenges and for a sustainable future.
