Hydrogen Discoveries and Industry Development in Kansas
The Sue Duroche 3 well in northeastern Kansas recently recorded hydrogen levels as high as 96% in air-corrected mud gas samples. Companies like PureWave Hydrogen and Koloma are now mapping the area and conducting technical modeling to identify the most promising extraction sites. Their efforts could lead to the development of a new clean hydrogen industry in North America.
Scientists have discovered vast natural hydrogen reserves in locations beyond Kansas around the world. In early 2024, scientists reported the largest known hydrogen reserve in Albania’s Bulqizë mine. There, at least 200 tons of hydrogen escape annually. Dubbed the “hydrogen jacuzzi”, it forms bubbling pools of nearly pure gas within the mine.
