France discovers the world’s largest hydrogen deposit, valued at an astonishing $92 trillion.
The discovery, estimated at 46 million tons of hydrogen, could disrupt the global clean energy race.
Located 4,101 feet (1,250 meters) underground, this vast reserve consists of white hydrogen, a naturally occurring form that requires no industrial proceeding.
Unlike green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energy, or gray hydrogen, which comes from fossil fuels, white hydrogen is found naturally beneath the Earth’s surface, avoiding the environmental impact of other methods.
GeoRessources scientist Dr Jacques Pironon, said:
“Our research suggests that natural hydrogen could be far more abundant than previously thought.
If we can find efficient ways to extract and use it, we may have a powerful new tool in the fight against climate change.
We need to understand the full potential of these hydrogen reservoirs and how to develop safe, efficient methods of extracting them.”
