Will Getech–HyReveal Rewrite Hydrogen Exploration?

Getech and HyReveal’s Nov 25 MoU blends geoscience data with hydrogen system modeling to locate natural hydrogen deposits and cut exploration risk.

2 Dec 2025

Getech and HyReveal have struck a strategic agreement they believe could change how natural hydrogen is found and evaluated around the world. The two companies formalized their pact on 25 November at the H NAT summit in Paris, pairing deep subsurface data with advanced modeling at a moment when interest in geologic hydrogen is rising fast.

Getech brings decades of global geophysical mapping and spatial analytics. HyReveal adds specialized models that simulate how hydrogen forms, moves, and pools underground. For Getech CEO Chris Jepps, the alliance broadens the firm’s reach into emerging clean energy resources with global potential. HyReveal CEO Viacheslav Zgonnik describes natural hydrogen as one of the most promising frontiers for steady, low impact energy.

Their plan centers on combining Getech’s mapping with HyReveal’s system models to produce prospectivity maps that flag regions likely to host hydrogen accumulations. By sharpening target selection, the partners aim to cut exploration risk and speed early discoveries in a field still defined by uncertainty.

The timing matters. Demand for low carbon hydrogen continues to climb across heavy industry, transport, and long duration storage. While electrolytic hydrogen must rely on renewable or grid power, geologic hydrogen offers the possibility of a continuous supply with minimal emissions. Better targeting could help unlock that resource and diversify the broader hydrogen economy.

Yet the market is still young. Natural hydrogen systems remain only partly understood, and even strong geological signals may not translate into commercial volumes. Infrastructure for production and transport is sparse, and rules governing exploration are only beginning to emerge. These realities mean early projects must balance optimism with caution.

Even so, the partnership signals a shift toward more structured exploration. If the combined approach proves effective, it could spark larger programs, fresh collaborations, and wider investment across energy, mining, and hydrogen development. For many observers, the pact marks a meaningful step toward pulling natural hydrogen from the margins into the mainstream.
