Abstract: With the decarbonization of energy worldwide,natural hydrogen,as a primary energy,has gained widespread interest for its carbon-free emission and renewability. However,natural hydrogen has not yet to be explored in China. Through the review of the main geological settings and genesis of natural hydrogen with a high content(greater than 10%)discovered worldwide,the beneficial geological factors for natural hydrogen accumulation were systematically summarized,and the exploration prospects of natural hydrogen in China were evaluated based on the exploration and development status of natural hydrogen abroad. The results show that:(1)Global high content natural hydrogen is mainly developed in ophiolite belts,rift valley,and Precambrian iron-rich strata,mainly inorganic genesis,and the serpentinization process of iron-rich minerals is the most critical source of natural hydrogen,followed by degassing in the deep earth and water radiolysis.(2)High-quality hydrogen sources and good migration channels are the prerequisites for hydrogen enrichment,and the sealing ability of the cap rocks is a key element for the formation of natural hydrogen reservoirs. When natural hydrogen is used as associated gas,the traditional cap rocks can seal it,but may be difficult to form effective sealing when its content is high. The rift valley environment,ophiolite development areas,and the fracture-developed Precambrian iron-rich strata are the favorable areas for the exploration of hydrogen-rich gas reservoirs.(3)Many countries and regions abroad have formulated plans to explore,develop,and utilize natural hydrogen. Mali has realized commercial exploita‐tion of natural hydrogen,and the United States and Australia have also successfully drilled natural hydrogen ex‐ploration wells.(4)The areas with high hydrogen content in China are highly compatible with hydrogen-rich geological conditions,and the prospects of natural hydrogen exploration are good. The Tan-Lu fault zone and the peripheral rift basin areas,the Altyn fault zone and the basin areas on both sides,and the Sanjiang orogenic beltLongmenshan fault zone and peripheral basin areas have great natural hydrogen exploration potential. China should carry out the survey work of natural hydrogen as soon as possible,strengthen the research on hydrogen reservoir accumulation process and potential evaluation,and carry out research on exploration technology,ex‐traction and separation technology,and storage and transportation technology,to prepare technological reserves for large-scale development and utilization of natural hydrogen.

Key words: renewable energy, natural hydrogen, inorganic genesis, degassing in the deep earth, water radiolysis, ophiolite belt, rift valley, Precambrian iron-rich strata, Tan-Lu fault zone, Altyn fault zone, Sanjiang orogenic belt-Longmenshan fault zone
