Earth’s Hidden Treasure: 26 Times More Hydrogen than Oil Beneath the Surface
A groundbreaking new study suggests that Earth’s subsurface contains vast reserves of hydrogen—formed through natural geological processes—amounting to at least 5.6 trillion tons. These reserves, estimated to be 26 times larger than known oil deposits, have so far been discovered in only a few regions, such as Albania and Mali.
If even a small percentage of this hydrogen can be extracted, it could provide humanity with thousands of years of environmentally friendly energy, revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable power sources.
