Abstract generation in progress

Finding and utilizing clean energy is an important path to promote energy transition and address climate change. Among them, geologically sourced natural hydrogen has the potential for “zero carbon emissions and low cost,” making it a focus of global energy technology innovation. On February 6, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that recently, a research team led by Liu Chuanzhou and Wu Fuyuan from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered natural hydrogen stored in micro-inclusions within serpentinite on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for the first time. This discovery not only fills a gap in domestic research but also points to a new geological direction for China in searching for the next generation of clean energy. The related findings have been published recently in an international academic journal. (Xinhua News Agency)
