🚨🎆🤩😍 Extension of National Energy Emergency EO to natural hydrogen:

1) Natural gas is called out in the EO↙️
2) Natural gas hydrogen content #naturalhydrogen can reach 21-24%↘️
3) ∴ natural (or geologic hydrogen) is part of the EO!

Numerous startups & some academics are in the natural hydrogen #NH exploration space.

#NH is mostly #protium (1 proton=¹H) & 0.015% deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron=²H). Origins of H2 formation change the #deuterium ratio.↙️↘️

Any #NH startups looking at ²H?

Gold Hydrogen gets oil drilling permit in addition to its white #hydrogen in South Australia:
-1,900 square kilometres
-Totalling 77,292 square kilometers of exploration area, including H2

Question: What does this pivot say about the trust in the H2 economy? Is this an hedge?
