The naturally occurring subsurface micro-organisms consume the carbon inside the fossil fuels, releasing 20 to 50 tonnes of hydrogen per field in the process.
Initially, when they're tapped, the oil wells start at maximum production. The process slows down when it costs more energy to extract the remaining oil than you can sell it for. This leaves excess left in depleted wells. Cemvita wants to utilize this and turn all these wells into biological hydrogen farms.
"In a very short time frame, we moved our microbes from the lab to the field. The hydrogen production in this trial exceeded our expectations," said Zach Broussard, Director of Gold H2 at Cemvita. "As we continue to use
