Inomin explores white hydrogen potential at Beaver-Lynx project

In Canada, Vancouver-based Inomin Mines Inc. announced its application for hydrogen rights at the Beaver-Lynx critical minerals project in British Columbia. This move aims to explore the site’s potential for naturally occurring hydrogen, also known as “white hydrogen,” which could be a game changer in clean energy production. The project, positioned between two major copper mines, Gibraltar and Mount Polley, features a geological setting conducive to hydrogen production.

Recent exploration at the Beaver South zone revealed a 10-meter-wide cavity, potentially a natural hydrogen trap.

White hydrogen, extracted directly from natural sources like ultramafic rocks, is viewed as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to blue and green hydrogen. This emerging energy source, produced without carbon emissions, could significantly lower hydrogen production costs.
