Climate tech firm hails hydrogen biotech breakthrough
A climate tech energy firm is claiming an industry breakthrough after producing ‘bio-stimulated’ hydrogen without drilling, electrolysis or energy-intensive surface facilities.
Gold H2’s field trial, conducted in a legacy oilfield in California’s San Joaquin Basin, leverages microbiology and existing infrastructure to produce clean hydrogen directly from the subsurface.
The trial recorded results of 40% hydrogen in the gas stream and 400,000 ppm of hydrogen in produced gases. ChampionX LLC, which specialises in engineered technologies, served as the oilfield services provider.
“Gold H2 exists to do what no one ever has: produce clean hydrogen directly in the subsurface using biology, engineering, and existing energy infrastructure,” said CEO Prabhdeep Singh Sekhon. “This field trial is tangible proof. We’ve taken a climate liability and turned it into a scalable, low-cost hydrogen solution. It’s a new blueprint for decarbonisation, built for speed, affordability, and global impact.”
