Great, a goldmine of clean energy I personally will never be allowed to touch or afford.
Researchers Find a Green Hydrogen 'Goldmine' Beneath Australia's Red Dirt
Researchers led by Edith Cowan University tested how much hydrogen forms when water reacts with magnetite, the mineral in Western Australia's vast iron ore deposits. In lab experiments at 200°C and high pressure over 60 days, hydrogen gas appeared, and powdered magnetite produced roughly five times more per gram than solid slabs, suggesting fractured, porous rock is the best target. No drilling was done; the team says the deposits could power Australia for generations and potentially make it a major clean-energy exporter.
