France Discovers the World’s Largest Hydrogen Deposit

France has made a groundbreaking discovery—a massive natural hydrogen (White Hydrogen) deposit beneath the soil of Folschviller, in the Moselle region.

2. Size & Value of Deposit Estimated to hold 46 million tons of hydrogen. Valued at around $92 trillion, making it the largest known deposit in the world.

3. What Is White Hydrogen? Naturally occurring hydrogen, unlike industrially produced hydrogen. Environmentally friendly—no carbon emissions during extraction.

About Hydrogen Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, with the atomic number 1.

It exists primarily as a colorless, odorless gas (H₂) and plays a crucial role in various scientific and industrial applications.

Key Facts About Hydrogen 1. Basic Properties Symbol: H Atomic Number: 1 Exists as a diatomic molecule (H₂) in its natural state. Highly flammable and reacts with oxygen to form water (H₂O).

Uses of Hydrogen Fuel – Used in hydrogen fuel cells for clean energy. Industrial Applications – Essential in refining petroleum and producing ammonia.
