Application of geodynamic modelling methods for natural hydrogen gas exploration in (inverted) rift basins
Frank Zwaan, GFZ Potsdam
Naturally occurring hydrogen gas (H2) represents a potentially major source of clean energy. It has been relatively overlooked so far but has gained more attention recently. The most promising mechanism for large-scale generation of such natural H2 is the serpentinization of mantle material as it reacts with water while it is brought into the “serpentinization window” (i.e., T = 200-350˚C) during mantle exhumation. We study such serpentinization-related natural H2 generation during rifting and subsequent rift inversion by means of numerical geodynamic models. In these numerical models we trace how, when, and where mantle material enters the serpentinization window, as well as when active, large-scale faults penetrate exhumed mantle bodies allowing for water circulation and serpentinization to occur.
