Clean Hydrogen, Rooted in Earth’s Wisdom

The Auri Project is a New Zealand–born scientific and ethical initiative dedicated to creating clean, affordable hydrogen by learning directly from the Earth. Instead of drilling for unstable subsurface gas or relying on high-cost electrolysis, we use a safe, engineered adaptation of the natural geologic process known as serpentinization — turning rock and water into hydrogen without CO₂ emissions.

Our goal is simple:
Make clean energy accessible, safe, and aligned with planetary stewardship.

Why We Exist

Humanity is entering a critical decade. To avoid catastrophic climate outcomes, the world needs clean fuels that do not depend on fossil gas, mining expansion, or environmental sacrifice.

But current hydrogen pathways fall into two camps:

• Expensive — electrolysers needing huge amounts of renewable power

• Extractive — drilling for natural hydrogen like an oil rush

Neither path solves the ethical or economic barriers holding hydrogen back.

The Auri Project exists to prove a third way:

Hydrogen that is renewable, mineral-based, non-extractive, and safe — generated above ground, under our full control, and guided by science, ethics, and transparency.
