Energy Seminar – week 7: Gold (natural) hydrogen: Pipeline or pipedream?
Chris Ballentine will speak in person at the Oxford Martin School. To watch online register below for TEAMS webinar link.
Tuesday 07 Jun 2022 | Oxford Martin School, Seminar Room 1 | Slides available
The oldest parts of the continental crust generate between 0.36–2.273×1011 moles H2 per year through water-rock reactions and radiolysis [1]. Over geological timescales, the natural hydrogen generated would supply society’s current oil-equivalent needs with clean energy for well over 100,000 years. Natural (gold) hydrogen is found in many locations globally [1], but until recently has not been the focus of [...]

Energy Seminar – Week 2: Participatory Governance and Social Factors in the Energy Transition
Nadejda Komendantova - will present through online TEAMS webinar
Tuesday 03 May 2022 | Slides available
Achieving a degree of or full decarbonisation of energy and electricity generation will transform systems from centrally planned with energy generation and demand centres located close to each other, along with fossil fuel technologies as a baseload to more diversified energy generation systems.
This will lead to new energy producers entering the market, and consumers becoming prosumers. New forms of energy generation [...]
