A short tour into the natural hydrogen research history.
1968
Vladimir Larin expresses his views on the planet Earth formation and global distribution of chemical elements for the first time
1971
First paper “On the Hydrogen Role in Earth Composition and Development“ published by Vladimir Larin on the subject of hydrogen governing the planet evolution processes
1975
Dr. Larin publishes the paper “The Primordially Hydridic Earth – The New Global Concept.” The PHE Concept is officially formalized
1976 – 1984
Papers and articles published on the subject of planet Earth and Solar System cosmogony, geochemical composition and development history. Geosynclines’ and orogenic belts’ development model
1984
“The Hypothesis”: The educational movie about Dr. V. Larin and the PHE Concept: https://youtu.be/ebrxLNfotBA
1988
The natural hydrogen deep drilling initiative by the Academy of Science of the USSR gets noticed by the Oil & Gas Journal
1989
The Academy of Science of the USSR holds the multi-disciplinary meeting on drilling a 10-12km deep well with the purpose of examining the PHE concept postulates. The ultimate goal is to identify and to assess a hydrogen conducting structure in the continental rifting zone
1993
Dr. V. Larin’s Hydridic Earth manuscript co-authored by C. Warren Hunt published in Canada
2004
First attempt to commercialize the PHE Concept. Lembinort Marketing Ltd. established by Dr. V. Larin, N. Larin, V. Vidavskiy
2005
“Our Earth” book by Dr. V. Larin published in Moscow
2006

2007 – 2008
Two field seasons in Israel. MT survey. Two conductive structures identified
2007
Dr. V. Larin, N. Larin postulate the natural hydrogen role in forming concentric depressions, most recently dubbed as “fairy circles” http://hydrogen-future.com/en/list-c-phenomen-en/76-page-id-6-en.html
2008 – 2018
Natural hydrogen exploration methods development and commercialization. Field exploration in Russia, Israel, USA, Morocco, Mongolia, Oman, India, Egypt
2018
First deep exploration well drilled by the Dr. V. Larin’s group specifically for natural hydrogen in Nebraska, USA
Dr. Vladimir Larin dies in Moscow, Russia
2019
2020
Tribute to Dr. V. Larin: Our Earth book translated into English
2021
Avalio entity established in Perth, WA Australia to continue working on the PHE concept commercialization
2022
First soil gas testing results obtained on the customer’s license acreage in Western Australia. Several readings were over the detection range of >2,000ppm H2, the highest from the top soil layer (<1m deep) in Australia to the date
