GESGB Symposium | Exploring for Natural Hydrogen – Initiating the deliberate search for natural hydrogen – brings together international senior technical, commercial, and investment professionals for a focused examination of one of the most compelling emerging opportunities in the energy transition. This one day symposium provides a snapshot of the innovative companies now active in natural hydrogen exploration, the subsurface concepts that underpin the play, and the investment propositions they present. Through a blend of technical insight and strategic perspective, the event will explore the geological settings, exploration approaches, and scientific evidence supporting natural hydrogen as a viable energy resource.

Designed for exploration & investment managers, subsurface specialists, and GESGB members considering new career pathways, the symposium offers a timely learning experience for those seeking to understand how their skills can transfer into the evolving green economy.
