The American Geophysical Union conference continues to throw up exciting developments in geological research including the possibility of extracting hydrogen from olivine. By speeding up the natural geochemical process of serpentinisation hydrogen can be liberated from olivine crystals giving a potential source of carbon-free energy.
All you need is a pressure cooker (to give a pressure 2,000 times that of the atmosphere and a few hundred degrees of heat) made with some diamonds and some ruby to speed up the reaction and you can make your own hydrogen.
This could make Iceland rich again. Can you work out why?
