Gold Hydrogen is a biomining process that extracts hydrogen from depleted oil wells by using microbes to ferment oil that would ordinarily be left unrecovered. In February 2022, Cemvita Factory announced the launch of the Gold Hydrogen Program, a joint industry partnership to commercialize and scale the production of gold hydrogen (Cemvita Factory). There are 4 current members including Cemvita Factory, Chart Industries, EXP, and The Center for Houston’s Future. Membership is capped at 10 members.

If on 29 February 2024, the Gold Hydrogen Program no longer exists, the program will be considered to have zero members and this question will resolve as “Less than or equal to 3”. The question, however, will not resolve before 29 February 2024.
