Near Metz, in northeastern France, researchers have struck a natural hydrogen bubble at a depth of 3,600 meters. According to the French energy company Française De l’Energie, this bubble is said to extend to Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany, and potentially contain up to 34 million tons of hydrogen.
A drilling at a depth of more than 3,600 metres in Moselle confirmed the presence of a hydrogen deposit. 34 million tonnes could be extracted from it, equivalent to France's annual electricity consumption.
