This themed collection aims to update recent developments in Geologic Hydrogen Resources understanding. The collection explores a variety of fields including but not limited to the sustainable production, utilization and storage for a Net-Zero economy of Geologic Hydrogen.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• White-hydrogen exploration and recovery
• Multiscale geophysical and geochemical site characterization
• Modelling that forecast long-term producibility and sustainability
• Underground hydrogen storage
• Governing processes in salt caverns, saline aquifers, and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, with focus on well integrity, high-fidelity reservoir simulation techniques, microbial interactions, and continuous monitoring under large-scale, cyclic operating regimes
• Hydrogen transportation, such as pathways, infrastructure and chemical carriers and their safety, cost integration etc
• Socio-economic and policy analysis, such as techno-economic and life-cycle assessments, benchmarks geologic hydrogen against green and blue alternatives, and examines market incentives, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder engagement to enable equitable, resilient deployment of geological hydrogen value chains
