With decades of experience in the mining and energy sectors, Neil is helping lead one of Canada's most exciting emerging energy stories following MAX Power's discovery of a subsurface natural hydrogen system in Saskatchewan. We discuss the significance of the discovery, the potential of natural hydrogen as a future energy source, and what it could mean for Canada's role in the global energy transition. We cover why Saskatchewan is considered uniquely prospective and why Neil thinks this is one of the best projects he has been involved in.

Max Power recently discovered a massive subsurface natural hydrogen system in Saskatchewan, which experts suggest could eventually rival traditional natural gas in scale. Unlike manufactured industrial hydrogen, natural hydrogen is processed by nature and has the potential to be produced at a fraction of the cost, making it highly attractive to commercial markets. The discovery's unique geographical conditions provide both clean electricity and cooling water, positioning Saskatchewan as an ideal location for the rapid development of next-generation AI data centers. BEST MOMENTS \"If you only produce 2% of it you would have enough of a clean energy source for the next 100 years.\" \"The geological structure that’s necessary to create natural hydrogen reservoirs is the same one that created the potash indu…","meta_description":"In this episode, we chat to Neil McMillan, Chairman of MAX Power Mining Corp.
