Introduction
I'm currently working on the development of an experimental geochemistry start-up.
My research focuses on optimizing hydrogen production in ultrabasic reservoirs. It is experimental and carried out in hydrothermal reactors (autoclaves), and based on rock alteration and oxidation processes such as serpentinization.
I'm mainly interested in quantifying hydrogen production and consumption, e.g. formation of CH4 and/or other organic compounds. The aim is not to consume the native hydrogen.

Serpentinization refers to the alteration of ultramafic rocks that produces serpentines and secondary (hydr)oxides under hydrothermal conditions. Serpentinization can generate H2, which in turn can potentially reduce CO/CO2 and produce organic molecules via Fischer–Tropsch type (FTT) and Sabatier type reactions. Over the last two decades, serpentin...
The origin of methane and light hydrocarbons (HCs) in natural fluids from serpentinization has commonly been attributed to the abiotic reduction of oxidized carbon by H2 through Fischer-Tropsch-type (FTT) reactions. Multiple experimental serpentinization studies attempted to identify the parameters that control the abiotic production of H2, CH4, an...
Serpentinization refers to the hydrothermal alteration of ultramafic rocks (e.g. peridotite) in which ferromagnesian silicate minerals react with water to dominantly precipitate serpentine and (hydr)oxides while producing hydrogen (H2). In natural systems, various amounts of methane (CH4) and other reduced carbon compounds are also observed in flui...
