Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from a 2022 study on thermogenic hydrogen generation from organic matter in sedimentary basins. The dataset likely contains results from pyrolysis experiments and kinetic modeling on samples from the Songliao Basin (China), Cooper Basin (Australia), Georgina Basin (Australia), and other marine source rocks from Europe and the USA. It reports a cumulative H2 potential of 20 mg/g TOC and estimates a global accessible H2 resource of approximately 3.5E+10 tonnes.
Use Cases
- Modeling thermogenic hydrogen generation kinetics based on reported pyrolysis experiments.
- Comparing hydrogen yields from different source rock types (Type-II marine vs. Type-III terrigenous) as described.
- Estimating regional hydrogen resources based on the reported yields per unit rock volume for formations like the Patchawarra.
- Analyzing porosity development for hydrogen storage based on SEM-scale observations of marine and terrigenous samples.
Strengths
- Data is derived from a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering.
- Includes specific quantitative findings: cumulative H2 potential of 20 mg/g TOC and global resource estimate of ~3.5E+10 tonnes.
- Covers a diverse range of geological samples from Australia, China, Europe, and the USA.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific basins studied.
Provenance
- Source
- Australian Ocean Data Network
- Collection Method
- Likely contains data from open-system pyrolysis experiments, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and kinetic modeling as described in the associated journal article.
