Understanding natural hydrogen   Natural hydrogen, often referred to as white or geologic hydrogen, is molecular hydrogen (H₂) that forms naturally within the Earth’s crust. Unlike industrial hydrogen, which must be produced via electrolysis or fossil fuel reforming, natural hydrogen is generated underground through geological processes such as water-rock reactions and mantle-derived gas migration. It can move through porous rock formations, accumulate in subsurface traps, an

Microbify’s recent interview with H2NEWS Chile conducted by Grace Keller, we had the opportunity to discuss one of the most underestimated challenges of the energy transition: the role of microorganisms in hydrogen and gas infrastructure.  Co-founder and managing director of Microbify GmbH Dr. Linda Dengler in an interview with H2NEWS Chile. Grace Keller is the Founder and Director of H2NEWS, Vice President of H2 Chile, and a member of Women in Green Hydrogen. Through her wo

In many environments, microbial behaviour is shaped by interactions with both surrounding fluids and solid interfaces. Attachment to surfaces provides access to nutrients, stability, and protection from external stressors. Over time, attached cells can proliferate and recruit additional microorganisms, leading to the development of structured communities. These communities exhibit properties that differ markedly from those of free-living cells. Understanding this form of orga

Corrosion is one of the most widespread and costly forms of material damage in industrial operations. It is an electrochemical process  in which metals react with their environment and slowly return to a more stable form, such as oxides or sulfides . While corrosion is often associated with purely chemical reactions involving oxygen, moisture, and salts,  in many cases microorganisms play a decisive role in accelerating and sustaining it. This form is known as microbiological
