In Texas, Gold H2 announced the successful completion of the world’s first field trial demonstrating subsurface bio-stimulated hydrogen production. Conducted in a legacy oilfield in California’s San Joaquin Basin, the trial represents a landmark advancement in the energy transition, one that leverages microbiology and existing infrastructure to produce clean hydrogen directly from the subsurface, the firm said. The project marks the first-of-a-kind application of Gold H2’s proprietary biotechnology, which harnesses microbiology, depleted oil reservoirs, and existing infrastructure to generate hydrogen in situ, eliminating the need for new drilling, electrolysis, or energy-intensive surface facilities, it added. “Gold H2 exists to do what no one ever has: produce clean hydrogen directly in the subsurface using biology, engineering, and existing energy infrastructure,” said Prabhdeep Singh Sekhon, CEO of Gold H2. “This field trial is tangible proof. We’ve taken a climate liability and turned it into a scalable, low-cost hydrogen solution. It’s a new blueprint for decarbonization, built for speed, affordability, and global impact.”
