Natural hydrogen has moved from scientific curiosity to serious exploration target-but detecting hydrogen is not the same as proving a resource.

The Hydrogen System examines the complete subsurface hydrogen chain: generation, migration, phase behavior, trapping, leakage, biological and geochemical sinks, accumulation, recharge, sampling, well evidence, rate, pressure, mass balance, and persistence.

Preston Tucker, DBA reviews the major proposed generation mechanisms, including water-rock reactions such as serpentinization, radiolysis, ancient crustal processes, and deeper-source hypotheses. The book then follows hydrogen from source to pathway and asks what must happen before a geochemical occurrence becomes an accumulation that can be explored, tested, and produced.

Case studies include Bourakébougou, ophiolite systems, the Midcontinent, Australia, and deep-basin hydrogen. The emphasis is not on declaring a new energy boom, but on defining what the evidence actually supports.

The central rule is straightforward: the molecule is not the resource. A defensible hydrogen resource requires more than detection-it requires architecture, volume, recoverability, flow, persistence, and evidence strong enough to survive alternative explanations.
