Problem
Current hydrogen supply relies heavily on energy-intensive steam methane reforming or costly electrolysis, limiting its scalability and affordability as a clean energy carrier. This hampers the ability of industries and power grids to decarbonize and meet growing demand for low‑carbon fuels.
Solution
Anning focuses on extracting naturally occurring geologic hydrogen from subsurface reservoirs, a resource that can be produced without carbon emissions associated with conventional methods. By applying advanced geoscience, drilling, and field‑development techniques, the company builds exploration and production systems that target high‑potential prospects. The approach aims to deliver hydrogen at a target cost of $1.50 per kilogram, making it competitive with fossil‑based fuels. Anning’s projects are sized to generate up to 500 MW of power, sufficient to supply hyperscale AI data centers and other large‑scale energy users. The company partners with industry experts and investors to scale production safely and reliably across the United States.
Target Audience
Primary customers include utilities, large industrial energy consumers, and hyperscale data‑center operators seeking reliable, low‑cost clean hydrogen for power and heat generation.
