Join Dr. Isabelle Moretti for a masterclass on “Where and why H2 accumulation could be prospected?” This course offers an in-depth overview of natural hydrogen (H2) exploration, covering the current understanding of H2 generation in the subsurface, global landscape, and ongoing activities. Gain insights into H2 as a clean energy source and the key factors influencing its accumulation and exploration. Ideal for geologists, energy professionals, and researchers.

When: 9 October 2024, 12:00-14:00 CEST

Where: Online

Presenter: Dr. Isabelle Moretti

Course outline:

The aim of this short course is to provide an overview of natural hydrogen (H2) exploration activity and knowledge. The course will cover the current understanding on H2 generation in the subsurface, the global landscape and ongoing activities related to natural H2.

About the Presenter:

Isabelle Moretti, a scientist with a Master’s in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the University of Paris XI (Orsay), began her career in 1987 at the French Petroleum Institute (now IFPen). She has held various global project management roles and developed professional software in structural geology. Isabelle has authored over 160 scientific papers and supervised approximately 30 Ph.D. students. She joined ENGIE in 2012, where she served as Technical Officer and later as Scientific Director. Currently, she leads a natural hydrogen team at Pau University (UPPA) and serves on the boards of EartH2, INERIS, and Pole Avenia.

Learning outcomes:

  • The H2-generating rocks, generalities about the reactions that allow H2 generation in the subsurface
  • Similiarities and differences within the petroleum systems
  • The prospective geological contexts
  • Panorama of the countries where the exploration starts
  • The ecosystem and its growth

Designed for

This course offers an opportunity for those unfamiliar with the subject to gain a comprehensive understanding of current developments. No expertise in geology, geochemistry, or geophysics is required. It serves as an introduction to the new E&P landscape; however, if you’re already working in this field, it may not provide new insights. On the other hand, if you’re seeking a broad overview to help you navigate the extensive literature and attend specialized conferences, such as H-NAT 2024 in Paris this November, this course is ideal for you.
