NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Artificial intelligence (“AI”) isn’t just changing technology — it’s rewriting the global energy equation. The world’s smartest machines now require staggering amounts of electricity, pushing grids to their limits as nations and corporations scramble to secure clean, scalable power to meet both industrial growth and net-zero commitments. Among the emerging contenders in this power space, one stands out for its simplicity and promise: natural hydrogen. And at the forefront of this discovery effort is MAX Power Mining Corp. (OTC: MAXXF) (CSE: MAXX) (profile)—the first public company in North America focused on commercial-scale natural hydrogen development. MAX Power controls Canada’s largest permitted land package for natural hydrogen in the pro-energy province of Saskatchewan, highlighted by the 275-mile (475 km) Genesis Trend that’s now believed to extend into Montana and the Dakotas. MAX Power has just commenced drilling its first dedicated natural hydrogen well at its Lawson target on Genesis, kicking off a historic multi-well program targeting what could become the world’s first commercial discovery of this clean, emissions-free energy source. MAX Power is working to become a powerhouse among other energy leaders committed to provide stable, sustainable energy, including Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM), Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) and Shell PLC (NYSE: SHEL).

- MAX Power has emerged as the first North American-based public company to drill a natural hydrogen well.
- With 1.3 million acres permitted in Saskatchewan, and another 5.3 million acres under application, MAX Power owns the most attractive natural hydrogen land portfolio in North America, an unmatched regional-scale opportunity.
- Natural hydrogen’s transition from theory to reality depends on scientific validation, and MAX Power’s partnership with the globally recognized Petroleum Technology Research Centre is designed to provide that.
- The company’s ability to move first stems from its combination of experienced technical leadership and high-conviction capital from billionaire mining investor Eric Sprott.
- Natural hydrogen could represent the next great baseload energy revolution, a clean, scalable power source arriving just as AI, EVs and data centers push grids to their limits.
A New Frontier in Clean Baseload Power
Global energy systems are under increasing strain. While solar and wind are reshaping the generation mix, they still face intermittency challenges, and natural gas remains carbon intensive. With AI data centers, semiconductor fabrication and advanced manufacturing driving exponential electricity demand, the world’s appetite for firm, clean power has never been greater. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) projects that electricity use from data centers alone will roughly double by 2030, reaching about 945 terawatt-hours, a level comparable to Japan’s entire national consumption. AI-optimized data centers could more than quadruple their draw during the same period.
Renewables are ramping quickly, but transmission delays and storage limitations hinder reliable grid expansion while congestion and permitting hurdles threaten the rollout of new generation and high-voltage infrastructure. Meanwhile, large tech firms are signing multibillion-dollar energy supply agreements to secure future power for data and compute clusters.
As the search for scalable, clean baseload energy intensifies, attention is turning underground. Natural hydrogen, also called “geologic” or “white” hydrogen, is generated through natural reactions, such as groundwater interacting with iron-rich rocks in processes such as serpentinization. Unlike “green” hydrogen produced by electrolysis, or “blue” hydrogen derived from fossil fuels with carbon capture, natural hydrogen is formed by Earth’s own geology. It offers the potential of emissions-free energy, with only water

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
