Unlocking Subsurface Resources: From Geologic Hydrogen to Critical Minerals

Friday, 23 October
Room 361 AD
Technical Session
Explore the science and engineering behind geologic hydrogen generation and critical mineral recovery from subsurface resources. This session brings together multidisciplinary insights into hydrogen production mechanisms, mineral-enriched brine dynamics, and reservoir-scale modeling. Discover emerging workflows, from lab-based scaling to field applications, and examine how these resources could shape the future of energy transition and resource security.
