Abstract:
Natural hydrogen exploration become possible in South Australia on 11 February 2021 via regulatory changes to include hydrogen as a ‘regulated substance’ under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000. South Australia has attracted interest from explorers because it is the only Australian jurisdiction currently with a licensing regime in place and favourable geology which could potentially generate natural hydrogen. In addition, online historical records revealed high hydrogen concentrations in gas samples from old wells.
