“We want actual options to decarbonise in ways in which maintain the lights on, and innovators like Gold Hydrogen might be important to these objectives.”
Pure hydrogen, also called ‘gold’ or ‘white’ hydrogen, is without doubt one of the many varieties of hydrogen classifications as a part of the ‘hydrogen rainbow’ spectrum which breaks down sorts into the greenhouse fuel emission profile of the power supply.
Of all of the varieties of hydrogen, pure hydrogen is reportedly among the many cleanest and is uncommon in its pure kind, in comparison with brown or black hydrogen which is constructed from coal gasification, yellow hydrogen which is the results of direct water splitting, and purple/pink hydrogen which comes from nuclear energy. Inexperienced hydrogen is at the moment established as probably the most environmentally pleasant out there, derived from renewable power sources similar to photo voltaic and wind.
Fellow Australian firms have additionally been exploring the potential of different varieties of hydrogen power, together with LINE Hydrogen which is seeking to construct an $83 million inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing facility in Tasmania.

In accordance with Gold Hydrogen, the corporate has solely just lately recognized the potential of the South Australian areas for the state’s ‘intensive’ pure hydrogen presence. The corporate hopes international demand, mixed with new pure hydrogen exploration methods, will grant it a chance to ‘outline and finally develop a brand new pure hydrogen fuel province’.
GHY holds one granted petroleum exploration licence, and its two 100 per cent owned subsidiaries White Hydrogen Australia and Byrock Assets maintain a further seven functions for pure hydrogen exploration inside South Australia.
The corporate’s fundamental undertaking is known as the ‘Ramsay Challenge’, and covers 7,820 sq. kilometres on the Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island.

International annual funding in hydrogen and its derivatives is projected to develop to $629 billion by 2050.
“Pure Hydrogen, specifically, as a low/zero carbon emitting supply that may be equipped at a really low value level, presents a really enticing alternative to facilitate decarbonisation.”
Past the corporate’s fundamental priorities, Gold Hydrogen says it’s planning on conducting additional non-invasive pure hydrogen fuel soil surveys with the CSIRO in March/April of this yr.
“As much as 100 soil survey areas have been recognized to discover areas related to potential pure hydrogen floor seeps typically known as fairy circles,” Gold Hydrogen stated.
“The corporate is planning to twin the place attainable historic wells which have reported pure hydrogen occurrences. Exploration drilling is scheduled to start in Q3 2023 with three exploration wells at the moment being deliberate.”
Within the brief time since its debut, shares in GHY are up 4 per cent to $0.52 per share – two cents greater than the corporate’s itemizing value.
