Geologic Hydrogen with Dr. Thomas Darrah,
CTO of Koloma.
Join us for an exclusive deep dive into the next frontier of clean energy. While the world has focused on making hydrogen, a revolutionary shift is underway: finding it. Geologic hydrogen—naturally occurring deposits trapped beneath the Earth's surface—could provide a carbon-free, baseload energy source at a fraction of the cost of manufactured alternatives.
Dr. Thomas Darrah serves as Chief Technical Officer, overseeing natural hydrogen exploration and intellectual property and technology development. Prior to joining Koloma, Dr. Darrah was a Full Professor of Earth Sciences at Ohio State University. See full bio here.
Ohio's electricity demand is surging, driven in large part by rapid data center growth. The question isn't whether we need more power — it's how we generate it responsibly. Fuel cells are a cleaner, more efficient answer to that challenge, and Ohio has spent two decades building the ecosystem to deliver them.
As Ohio's fuel cell and hydrogen trade association, we believe that investment deserves an accurate voice in this debate.
