Technology

Our proprietary technologies follow a three-step process that combines geology, geophysics and geochemistry data. Using our Geological Trifecta, we create highly accurate predictive models for detecting and evaluating natural hydrogen.

This proprietary technologies are scalable for the assessment and exploration of the entire planet.

GeoLogix®

Our prospect generation algorithm, GeoLogix®, shows us where to start looking by scanning the globe and determining the presence of hydrogen production ingredients including source rocks, active generation and reservoirs of natural hydrogen. Essentially, GeoLogix® identifies places where our geological trifecta can be met.

HOREX®

Our multiphysics imaging technology, HOREX®, then images these reservoirs, pinpoints their specific location with high accuracy, and records the activity of the source rock producing the hydrogen. We do this by placing many sensors on the field at 30cm depth to record the activity of the system and reconstruct a 3D image over time.

APoGeH®

Finally, APoGeH®, our quantification technology, uses liquid/gas and rock to quantify the potential of the source rock (initial potential and yet to react) and evaluate the gas composition. This is made using field data that is continuously added to Mantle8’s database and used back in GeoLogix®.

How our technology works

Our approach

It all comes down to geology.
Three key geological conditions, when combined, create the best economics for unearthing natural hydrogen. We call this the Geological Trifecta.

1

Source rock

Iron-rich mantle rocks are best for serpentinization, the best natural process for hydrogen generation.

3

Replenishment

The best reservoirs constantly replenish because they are connected to particularly active source rock where hydrogen is continually produced.

2

Reservoirs

The source rock is connected to shallow reservoirs through natural cracks.
