Podcast The Geoscience Channel: Heat, Hydrogen and Helium: Unlocking the ‘Triple H’ Potential (with Jürgen Grötsch, Tellus Energy Solutions)

In this episode of The Geoscience Channel, host Myrna Staring speaks with Dr Jürgen Grötsch, founder and CEO of Tellus Energy Solutions, about the emerging science and commercial potential of naturally occurring hydrogen.

Grötsch introduces the company’s ‘Triple H’ concept: producing geothermal Heat, Hydrogen and potentially Helium from subsurface aquifers. He explains how natural hydrogen is generated, how faults control its migration and why its reactivity—rather than its small molecular size—may be the biggest obstacle to conventional trapping.

The conversation also explores decentralised energy hubs, Europe’s dependence on imported energy, the future of geothermal development and Grötsch’s outspoken assessment of nuclear power.

Could the subsurface provide the missing part of Europe’s future energy system? And why might finding natural hydrogen be easier than producing it? Listen to the full conversation to find out.
