Some 20 years ago I used to be more optimistic about hydrogen as a motor fuel, yet I became more skeptical about it around 2004. Biodiesel, ethanol and natural gas (eventually also considering biomethane) sound more realistic to me in a 3rd-world country.

Where in Brazil? Never heard about it. |

Before today I hadn't heard that there could be exploitable amounts of hydrogen underground. This week's issue of Science magazine (vol. 379 17 February 2023) has an article: "Hidden Hydrogen" which is a long story about all the people and places that are being examined for natural hydrogen.

Seems to be more of an issue with petroleum than with methane or other gases. Not to mention they're trapped inside rocky caverns (well, sort of) which might have some sort of structural integrity. |

Beneath the heart of North America lies an ancient treasure—the Midcontinent Rift, a billion-year-old geological wonder that could revolutionize our energy future. Scientists in Nebraska are uncovering its incredible potential to produce natural hydrogen—clean, renewable, and carbon-free. This process, happening naturally in volcanic rock formations, offers the promise of sustainable energy for centuries. Join us as we dive deep into this extraordinary discovery, exploring the cutting-edge research, engineering marvels, and the global implications of unlocking the hydrogen economy. From Nebraska to the world, this is the story of turning Earth's ancient scars into a beacon of hope for a greener, cleaner future.
IIRC Palladium is good at holding and releasing hydrogen.|

3-5000 feet isn't too deep (the record is 40,000) but maybe this is an opportunity for Quaise?
