Visualizing the subsurface
Interactive explainers on hydrogen storage and the geology that makes it possible — built to be read, not just skimmed.
Trona: Wyoming's Buried Treasure
Beneath southwest Wyoming lies the largest trona deposit on Earth. What is this mineral, how did an ancient lake create it, and why does it matter for both soda ash and hydrogen?
Read articleThe Colors of Hydrogen
Hydrogen is colorless — but you will hear it called green, blue, grey, and more. The colors are a shorthand for how it is made, and they decide whether it actually helps the climate.
Read articleWill It Hold? The Geomechanics of Keeping a Cavern Stable
An underground cavern is a hole in rock that is squeezed, flows, and slowly closes. A visual look at the stress, creep, pressure limits, and subsidence that decide whether storage stays safe.
Read articleAnatomy of a Storage Cavern
What is actually down there? A guided tour of an operating hydrogen cavern — wellhead to sump — and the cushion gas, working gas, and pressure window that keep it running.
Read articleSolution Mining: Carving a Cavern from Rock
You cannot dig a cavern a kilometre underground — you dissolve one. A visual look at how water, circulation, and a clever floating blanket sculpt a storage cavern out of solid salt or trona.
Read articlePutting Hydrogen Underground: Where, How Much, and How to Choose
Grid-scale hydrogen has to live underground. A visual guide to the storage options, the seasonal logic, the pressure physics, and how engineers pick a site.
Read articleTrona or Salt? Choosing the Rock That Holds Our Hydrogen
Salt caverns are the proven home for underground hydrogen — but Wyoming sits on something different. A visual tour of how trona stacks up against salt as host rock.
