Canadian "Mineral Hydrogen" Could Disrupt Global Energy

Can engineered mineral hydrogen produce ultra-low-cost clean fuel at scale? Pierre Levin, CEO of Quebec-based Vima Hydrogen, explains how his company uses a natural reaction between water, brine, and underground rocks to generate hydrogen underground — without fracking and at potentially half the cost of today’s green hydrogen. In this interview, we discuss: • How engineered mineral hydrogen works • Why Vima chose Quebec for its first projects • The economics versus green hydrogen • Partnerships for methanol, SAF, and data centres • Why transporting raw hydrogen is too expensive • The role of mining companies in scaling production • The path to competing directly with fossil fuels Levin says the company’s long-term goal is hydrogen production at US$0.50/kg — a price point that could radically reshape industrial decarbonization and synthetic fuels. #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Quebec #GreenHydrogen #SAF #Methanol #Decarbonization #EnergyNews #Canada
