imagine turning abandoned oil wells into
0:04
gold mines for clean energy this isn't
0:07
science fiction but a reality being
0:09
shaped by Innovative companies like
0:12
semv these Pioneers are breathing new
0:14
life into old oil and gas infrastructure
0:17
transforming it for hydrogen production
0:19
and Paving the way for a cleaner energy
0:22
future Apollo's hydrogen offshore
0:24
production project known as hop2 and
0:27
sv's gold hydrogen program are at the
0:29
for front of this revolution while their
0:32
approaches differ both share a common
0:34
goal repurposing existing resources to
0:37
produce clean hydrogen fuel Apollo's
0:39
hop2 project focuses on giving
0:42
decommissioned offshore oil and gas
0:43
platforms a second life instead of
0:46
leaving these massive structures to rust
0:48
away Apollo is converting them into
0:51
hydrogen production facilities the
0:53
company installs electrolysis units on
0:55
these platforms using renewable
0:57
electricity to split water molecules and
1:00
produce green hydrogen this approach is
1:03
both environmentally friendly and cost-
1:05
effective avoiding the need for
1:07
expensive new construction at Sea and
1:09
reducing material waste SV is looking
1:13
beneath the surface with its gold
1:14
hydrogen program this Innovative
1:17
approach uses microbiology to unlock
1:19
hydrogen reserves in depleted or
1:21
abandoned oil and gas
1:23
reservoirs by introducing microorganisms
1:25
into these underground spaces where they
1:28
produce hydrogen through biological
1:29
reactions this process not only Taps
1:32
into a new source of clean energy but
1:34
also makes use of existing pipelines and
1:37
processing facilities turning potential
1:39
liabilities into valuable assets the
1:42
benefits of repurposing this
1:44
infrastructure are numerous both Apollo
1:46
and sita's approaches result in
1:49
significant cost savings by avoiding the
1:51
need to build entirely new
1:53
facilities this also allows for faster
1:56
deployment of hydrogen production
1:58
crucial for accelerating the Global
2:01
transition additionally these projects
2:03
provide environmental benefits by
2:05
addressing potential risks associated
2:07
with abandoned oil infrastructure and
2:10
creating new cleaner uses for these
2:12
sites another important Advantage is the
2:14
potential to support local jobs many oil
2:17
and gas workers have skills that are
2:19
directly transferable to hydrogen
2:21
projects providing opportunities for
2:23
employment in regions affected by the
2:25
shift away from fossil fuels the
2:28
Innovations by Apollo and SV are not
2:31
just concepts for the future they offer
2:34
scalable solutions that can be
2:36
implemented today countries with
2:38
abundant oil and gas infrastructure such
2:40
as the United Kingdom the United States
2:42
and nations in the Middle East have
2:44
immediate opportunities to diversify
2:46
their energy production by repurposing
2:48
platforms and depleted reservoirs into
2:50
hydrogen hubs these regions can quickly
2:53
establish clean energy production
2:55
without the long Le times typically
2:58
associated with building new new
3:00
facilities these combined approaches
3:02
demonstrate that solving complex
3:04
challenges like climate change doesn't
3:06
require starting from
3:08
scratch instead it involves finding
3:10
smarter Greener ways to use what we
3:12
already have by creatively rethinking
3:15
old infrastructure we gain a significant
3:17
advantage in building the clean energy
3:19
economy of the future whether it's
3:22
transforming oil platforms into offshore
3:25
hydrogen hubs or extracting hydrogen
3:27
from underground reservoirs these in
3:29
ative approaches show that practical
3:31
Solutions often arise from reimagining
