The French startup Mantle8 develops technology combining predictive models, underground imaging and chemical analysis To detect and use hydrogen deposits trapped under the earth’s crust.
AI to map the basement
Mantle8 relies on a artificial intelligence model capable of crossing seismic, geochemical and topographic data To identify areas where hydrogen formation is most likely. Once an identified target, a Underground imaging system Allows you to refine the estimate of the size and depth of the tank. A chemical analysis sensor Then comes to check the quality and composition of the gas.
A discreet but strategic race
Natural hydrogen challenges the energy market thanks to its estimated production cost to 0.5 €/kgagainst 4 to 6 €/kg For green hydrogen produced by electrolysis. However, its exploitation is kept secret, the actors avoiding revealing the location of their research. With several deposits already identified in FranceMantle8 hopes to position himself as a key player in the sector.
One of the investment funds Bill Gates is betting on mantle8
To accelerate its development, Mantle8 announces a lifting of 3.4 million eurosled by Breakthrough Energy Venturesthe investment fund of Bill Gatesalongside Kiko Ventures. The operation will allow Double his team of geologists in 2025 and intensify its exploration campaigns.
