Hydrogen could be a key fuel of the future.
  • Clean hydrogen fuel may occur naturally in large underground reservoirs across the planet.
  • Big companies, startups, and the US government are all trying to tap into this carbon-free fuel.
  • It's unclear how much natural hydrogen exists, where it is, or if it's economic enough to drill.

Believe it or not, drilling for a certain type of gas could open up a new world of clean energy.
