Hydrogen (H2) has become a focus of energy transition conversations for good reason; when used it does not directly produce carbon dioxide emissions. One difficulty is that hydrogen must be separated from other compounds through concentrated inputs and reactions of other resources. Thus, current hydrogen production methods are costly, complex, and carbon intensive. Lending way for a reluctant adoption of this clean energy source. In 2015, during a simple conversation, geologist Grant Strem and his friend, the Department Head of the Petroleum and Chemical Engineering Faculty at the University of Calgary, Dr. Ian Gates, realized an opportunity existed to commercialize a new production method. Recalling a research paper on in-situ gasification, an idea combining existing technologies with this new demand for a clean fuel came to life.
