Researchers believe the Midcontinent Rift may be a clean energy treasure trove. It stretches from beneath Lake Superior and covers parts of Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.​
Now, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers say that this rift may be a rich source of natural hydrogen. The team is exploring ways to study and access the hydrogen produced in the rift. However, knowledge about it is currently limited.​
Five years ago, researchers drilled a well to assess the feasibility of hydrogen production in the Midcontinent Rift. The data collected from this well has revealed promising signs of hydrogen accumulation, suggesting the potential for significant extraction.​
