埃迪斯科文大学研究人员在西澳大利亚皮尔巴拉地区的铁矿床中发现了一项重要的能源线索。1该研究发现，当地铁矿石中的磁铁矿与热水在200°C和高压环境下反应时可以释放氢气，这一过程在为期60天的实验中被证实。1研究团队进一步表明，通过注入溶液的方式可以增强这一氢气生成过程，水通过岩石裂隙接触新鲜矿物表面的能力直接影响了氢气的生成效率。1
埃迪斯科文大学工程学院Associate Professor Alireza Keshavarz表示，"Australia could be sitting on a massive, untapped energy reserve -- and the potential is enormous"。1研究人员认为，该地区的地质条件可能支持一个新的清洁能源产业的发展，甚至有潜力成为全球氢能出口的重要来源。1这项研究已于2026年发表在《国际氢能期刊》上。1
Researchers at Edith Cowan University have discovered that magnetite minerals found in Western Australia's Pilbara region can naturally generate hydrogen gas, offering potential for a new clean energy industry.1 The research, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy in 2026, demonstrates that magnetite reacts with hot water under specific conditions to release hydrogen, with the efficiency of gas generation influenced by water's ability to access fresh mineral surfaces through rock fractures.1 Experiments conducted at 200°C under high pressure over 60 days showed that the process can be enhanced through the injection of solutions into the rock formations.1
According to Associate Professor Alireza Keshavarz, "Australia could be sitting on a massive, untapped energy reserve -- and the potential is enormous."1 The geological conditions in the Pilbara region may support the development of a hydrogen energy sector and could position Australia as a significant exporter of hydrogen on the global market.1
