Multi-energy production

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.

Innovative measurement program deployed to detect and quantify dissolved natural hydrogen in geological formations at various depths.

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

Albania

Texas

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.

Comprehensive study launched in July 2024 to investigate Texas's white hydrogen reserves using proprietary methods, aiming to identify promising areas for near-term land acquisitions and exploration.

A research and development project about Lorraine gas resources carried out by the University of Lorraine and CNRS in partnership with FDE. The project deployed innovative measurement programs to detect and quantify natural hydrogen in geological formations.
