Characterization of the spontaneously recharging natural hydrogen reservoirs of Bourakebougou in Mali.

ABSTRACT: In today's race to find ways to produce cheap and green hydrogen, the natural hydrogen wells in Bourakebougou offer a promising solution and are a good example of how H₂ can be produced in the natural environment. Not only has one well been successfully exploited to generate electricity for the local village, but twenty-four other exploratory boreholes have also demonstrated the presence of natural H₂ in the surrounding area. The Bourakebougou H₂ field offers a unique opportunity for geoscientists to determine the key characteristics of natural hydrogen reservoirs. This paper presents the coring, logging, and geochemistry studies that were performed to better characterize the nature of the Bourakebougou H₂-bearing reservoirs. The shallowest main
