Albania

A natural hydrogen extraction initiative at the Bulqize chrome mine in northeastern Albania, transitioning the site from traditional chrome mining to hydrogen energy production.

Discovery of the world's largest white hydrogen flow in an Albanian chromium mine, detected bubbling up through a pool of water, described as nearly pure hydrogen.

Education and Research

Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity sources, considered a critical component for hydrogen's long-term credibility as a clean fuel.

Geological processes that generate dihydrogen through oxidation of iron-rich minerals in ultrabasic rocks or water-rock interactions deep underground.

Hydrogen formed over geological time deep underground, also known as geological or white hydrogen. It is a potentially low-cost, zero-emissions fuel source that does not require electrolysis.

An unpublished research project estimating global subterranean hydrogen reserves at 5 trillion tonnes. Led by Geoffrey Ellis.

Exploratory drilling project by Natural Hydrogen Energy to assess natural hydrogen extraction viability. Expected to transition to commercial production within a couple of years.

Naturally occurring hydrogen gas extracted from underground deposits. The Albanian deposit contains 84% pure H2 with trace methane and nitrogen, representing a potential low-carbon or zero-carbon fuel source.
