Natural hydrogen
the new deal
A major scientific discovery
With current technologies, hydrogen must be manufactured (gray, blue, green). It is therefore considered a ” vector ” rather than a ” source ” of energy.
The recent discovery, in various parts of the world, of hydrogen in its molecular form, is a game-changer: the Earth’s subsoil containshydrogen in its natural state, and potentially in substantial quantities.
The natural hydrogen of the future: this is a production method that is not only innovative, but also clean and economically viable, at a much lower cost than green hydrogen.
Natural factories in our subsoil
Various geological processes could be responsible for the natural production of hydrogen beneath the Earth’s surface.
