Abstract
The research studied the pressing problem of the fuel and energy strategy of the XXI century. For the first time, there was shown the diversity of the authors approach to theoretical and applied problems of hydrogen energy.General issues of fundamental and applied aspects of hydrogen origin were covered.The study provides the results of scientific developments on hydrogen mapping performed within the framework of scientific and practical exploratory and geo-ecological research on more than 200 hydrocarbon objects both on land (including mining fields) and in marine water areas. Prognostic and search system criteria were substantiated, with hydrogen being used for the first time as a component of the complex of methodical solutions in the search practice.The study emphasizes the decisive role of Ukraine in the competition for primacy in scientific developments. For the first time in world practice, the implementation of global projects for the extraction and production of white hydrogen was substantiated.The technology was tested on numerous hydrocarbon deposits, water resources and mine workings and therefore has all the prospects for the effective application in the search and extraction of hydrogen.At the same time, a database of hydrogen values obtained by performing surface methods using the technology of structural-thermo-atmosphere-geochemical research (STAGD) was created.For the first time, a map of promising oil and gas-bearing objects and industrial concentrations for the production of white hydrogen was developed on the fragment “Structural-tectonic map of the Dnipro-Donetsk basin” on a 1:200,000 scale, 2010.
