| I am a clay mineralogist interested in geochemical reactions involved in Earth processes. Understanding clays minerals involves the detailed crystal-chemical characterization of their structure, particularly as they are found associated in the Earth's crust, which includes near surface weathering, diagenetic, and hydrothermal geologic environments. Clay minerals often interact with biological systems, which then allow them to proxy the record of environmental change throughout Earth history and perhaps in extraterrestrial environments. The research carried out in my group has involved the study of these fine grain particles using NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform IR and Raman spectroscopy, radiogenic, cosmogenic, and stable isotopes, chemical and thermal analyses, and X-ray and electron diffraction. |

| Osmoses is a technology company transforming the way industrial separations are performed. We are commercializing a novel membrane technology designed to deliver unprecedented efficiency and performance to purify gas molecules. We provide a solution that can drive down the cost of geologic hydrogen by reducing the Opex needed for bulk gas separations. Our membranes have previously unattainable performance in separating hydrogen from methane and hydrogen from nitrogen. Our TEA is particularly compelling for geologic hydrogen concentrations below 50% - our membranes can efficiently perform the bulk separation necessary to allow traditional technologies like pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to become cost-effective. We are interested in piloting with a geologic hydrogen company, ideally on a slipstream, to validate our membrane performance in real-world conditions. We have experience as an ARPA-E awardee (https://arpa-e.energy.gov/technologies/projects/efficient-recovery-dilute-helium-gas-using-molecular-sieve-membranes#:~:text=Osmoses%20will%20develop%20of%20a,and%20enable%20rapid%20scale%2Dup.). |

| Borehole Mining (BHM) is a remotely operated method of extracting natural resources through boreholes. It is conducted from land surface and floating platforms. BHM is used for mining of iron, uranium, coal, tin, manganese, etc. as well as for stimulation of O&G production. Since no personnel are required underground and no earth movement and other large-scale environmental disturbance, BHM is the most eco-friendly mining and stimulation technology. It is also a rapid, safe and cost-effective method. For more, please see: SME Surface Mining Handbook, 3rd Edition (2023), Chapter 23 and boreholemining.com |

| I am a geochemist who obtained a BSc in Geology from the University of Queensland, Australia, before travelling back to France to obtain a PhD on CO2 mineral storage from Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris and Ecole Normale Supérieure. I then joined IFP Energies Nouvelles as a research scientist, where I have been working on native H2 emissions ("white hydrogen") ever since, collecting associated rock and gas samples around the globe to understand the origin of geologic H2, quantify its emissions, as well as the generation potential of rock formations.
Our group has a large number of capabilities that may suit projects related to geologic hydrogen.
We can :
(1) efficiently run sampling campaign on the field and run in situ measurements with different detectors, whether it's to detect gases such as H2, analyze water (pH, eH) or screen rock composition for iron;
(2) run stable isotope analysis of H2 and associated volatiles at the lab through GCC-IRMS, whether they are gaseous (CH4, CO2 ...) or dissolved compounds (formate, acetate, methanol...), that indicate H2 consumption in the subsurface to quantify and identify the source of H2. We are also equipped with a highly sensitive GC with a plasma detector that can detect H2 down to the ppm level in small volumes.
(3) analyze water samples for microorganisms consuming H2 (acetogens, methanogens, sulfato-reducers ...).
(4) measure dissolved H2 concentration in water samples, down to the nmolar level with electrochemical sensors.
(5) analyze associated noble gases (such as Helium) to get information on residence time of associated gas flux in the subsurface and its origin (crust or mantle).
(6) analyze rock samples and alteration figures, by combining x-ray diffraction, electronic microcopy, microprobe and µtomography, to determine mineralogy, quantify alteration and iron valency, in order to determine past and future H2 generation potential.
(7) run HP/HT fluid rock interactions experiments, in order to determine H2 generation kinetics of select rock formations (and use it later as input data for numerical modelling).
(8) perform reactive transport modelling on a regional scale, through the use of our own numerical codes. |

| Dear Sir/Madam, my company, H2 Helium LLC, is focused on helium and natural hydrogen production principally in the State of Montana. I have been involved in the helium exploration business for the past 23 years, have testified in Congress regarding drilling for helium on Federal Lands, and have written a book (Helium - The Disappearing Element, 2015) about helium. In my investigations, we have uncovered incredibly strong geological hydrogen potential along with helium production from certain areas in the State of Montana. For instance, there is a well that flowed 27% Hydrogen and 2.2% Helium out of the same formation. The areas in question sit on Archean Cratons (oldest rock in North America, and thus the most enriched in Uranium and Thorium) from which iron-rich crustal rock is able to be reduced via serpentinization to produce geological Hydrogen. We are currently installing a "collaborative drilling program" so that multiple interested parties can pursue their own interests (helium, hydrogen, geothermal, lithium, etc) out of a single wellbore. We would enjoy the opportunity to work with ARPA-E on this geological hydrogen effort. Montana represents the most exciting location for geological hydrogen as it is the only State where it was recently tested. Other older wells in Iowa tested very high geological Hydrogen but were not productive. Thank you, Bo Sears |

| New England Research (NER) was founded in 1985 to study the behavior of rocks at in situ conditions from the pore to the meter scale. Over the last 35+ years, NER has developed unique, custom equipment to conduct experiments as part of government and industry supported R&D projects. Progressive improvements in technique, analysis software, and hardware have incorporated into the design of each system which we use for commercial service work as well as sell as commercial products.
Over the past ten years, there has been an increasing demand for rock properties measurements at temperatures up to 450°C and at pressures up 400 MPa for geothermal programs, rock-fluid interactions at mid-crustal depths, frictional properties for studies of intermediate depth earthquakes, engineering of deep boreholes, and geophysical exploration. To support these studies, NER has modified the AutoLab series to operate at these conditions, providing a solid starting point for this study. The HPHT AutoLab systems support NER’s standard measurement options: velocity, permeability, electrical resistivity, and deformation.
We envision our role in a Geologic Hydrogen project to advance the state of the art in laboratory testing and physical properties modeling of petrophysical and geophysical rock properties including coupled THMC deformation during serpentinization. As examples, the integrated laboratory and modeling focused work could be directed at:
• Geophysical properties and their evolution during serpentinization to support for exploration for, and monitoring of, potential test sites.
• Hydromechanical properties for modeling and engineering of sustainable hydrogen generation and the potential of stimulation techniques.
• Integration of testing with modeling capabilities and workflow aimed at engineering the economic production of H2 from ultramafic source rocks. |
