Natural hydrogen has several origins: hydrothermal alteration, radiolysis of water, late maturation of organic matter or microbiology. Even if those processes are the subject of many studies, it is still challenging to associate a molecule of H2 to a specific origin.

One of the methods usually performed to constrain the origin of H2 is to measure its bulk hydrogen isotopic composition. However, it is mainly used to constrain whether a system is at equilibrium or not or to distinguish low temperature H2 to high temperature H2. Therefore, this H isotopic signature does not lead to distinguish one type of H2 from another.

Here, we use a new technique to trace the origin of natural hydrogen: the measurement of H2 clumped isotopes (HH, HD, DD) on MAT253-ULTRA that was developed by Popa et al. [1] and first used on natural samples by Mangenot et al. [2]. The methodology of the measurement of H2 clumped isotopes will be presented before showing new results.
