Getech, a world-leading locator of subsurface resources, announced a strategic collaboration with Natural Hydrogen Ventures (NHV), the world’s first natural H₂ investment fund. Getech is expert in identifying locations with natural H₂ potential in the sub-surface (also known as geologic or white H₂) and NHV provides early-stage funding to natural H₂ exploration companies. Through this partnership Getech will: screen NHV’s prospective natural H₂ projects thereby helping them to de-risk their portfolio; enhance its position with its own natural H₂ exploration clients through the ability to introduce NHV as a potential key investor; expand its contact and the potential for revenue generation within the sector through direct contact with NHV’s client base.

Getech has built its reputation as a leading service and data provider for geological H₂ exploration through leveraging its world-leading gravity and magnetics database, its unique geoscience platform, Globe, and advanced machine learning algorithms. NHV, as a global investor in the emerging natural H₂ industry, has recognized the strategic value of Getech’s capabilities in evaluating potential investments in the natural H₂ sector and the likely benefits this will have in terms of de-risking their growing portfolio of investments.

The bundling of Getech’s technical expertise and NHV’s financing capability offers an integrated and therefore attractive solution to natural H₂ explorers seeking both data-led screening and new capital. Demonstrating this, the collaboration has already resulted in the successful completion of a revenue-generating project, underscoring the immediate benefits of this partnership to both companies. Furthermore, the partnership aligns with Getech’s strategy to monetize its natural H₂ location solutions by expanding its global client base.

Richard Bennett, CEO at Getech, commented, “We expect to significantly broaden our reach through this important partnership, presenting our capabilities to a wider array of potential customers in the natural H₂ sector. By combining our technical expertise with the financial resources and strategic insight of Natural Hydrogen Ventures, we are well-positioned to accelerate the discovery of this promising energy resource, contributing to a more sustainable future.”

Morten Stahl, Founding Partner at Natural Hydrogen Ventures, commented, “We are very excited about this partnership. Getech’s expertise will be instrumental in helping us de-risk our investment portfolio, allowing us to focus on the most promising exploration projects. This collaboration not only benefits our stakeholders but also supports the global energy transition.”
