French geoscience company Mantle8 has become a member of Hydrogen Europe to advocate for natural hydrogen as a cost-effective, climate-neutral energy source in Europe. This partnership signifies a push towards integrating natural hydrogen into the continent's energy transition efforts. Mantle8's specialization in natural hydrogen exploration using geological data and algorithms positions them to provide valuable insights to shape future energy policies and regulations. Founder Emmanuel Masini highlighted the importance of reframing perceptions around hydrogen extraction from natural processes. Their recent discovery of high hydrogen levels in soil samples from a site in France supports their exploration methods. The focus on natural hydrogen is viewed as an opportunity to enhance Europe's energy resilience by diversifying energy sources and decreasing reliance on imported fuels. Mantle8's membership reflects the increasing recognition of geological hydrogen's potential in Europe's clean energy future.
