About

Kura Dynamics is a Christchurch-based cleantech start-up developing technology to stimulate and harness geologic (orange) hydrogen - hydrogen created naturally when water flows over iron-rich rocks underground. The company uses a unique combination of chemistry expertise, proprietary data, and supercomputing to accelerate safe and reliable hydrogen stimulation at scale. Their breakthrough approach focuses on understanding subsurface processes to deliberately manufacture hydrogen rather than simply exploring for existing deposits. This technology could enable cost-effective clean hydrogen infrastructure globally.
