Koloma is a technology-enabled natural hydrogen exploration company which has demonstrated the presence of significant hydrogen reserves here in the United States. By leveraging its experience, a proprietary database, and a suite of data analytics tools, Koloma aims to enable large-scale clean hydrogen production with 24/7 dispatchability and global reach.

The operation has utilised two Cessna Caravan aircraft, each equipped with cutting-edge geophysical sensors. These specialised aircraft have flown meticulously over designated areas, gathering comprehensive subsurface geological data. This will contribute essential insights for future resource evaluations and exploration initiatives.

“Our survey in the Central Massif is a significant undertaking, where we’ve applied cutting-edge airborne geophysical technology to provide a detailed understanding of the subsurface,” said Víctor González, VP and Managing Director for Europe & North Africa at Xcalibur Smart Mapping. “By meticulously covering over 66,000 kilometers (30.000 km²), we are not only delivering vital data that will inform resource exploration but also ensuring that this knowledge supports sustainable management practices, aligned with both local and national priorities for resource conservation and environmental stewardship.”

Following the survey’s conclusion, Xcalibur is focused on the thorough processing and analysis of the acquired data. This ensures that the project aligns with the technical requirements of the stakeholders, delivering on both objectives and timelines.
