The chrome mine in Bulqiza holds the largest deposit of natural hydrogen discovered so far in the world. The professor of the Faculty of Mining Geology, Bardhyl Muceku, who was part of the team of 8 Albanian and French professors, who discovered the presence of this gas, which is considered the fuel of the future, tells TV SCAN the details of the study, whose work began in May last year.
In addition to the large amount, this is the first deposit of natural hydrogen discovered so far in the world, giving tremendous value to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that affect climate change.
Prof. Mucek also shows the process followed, which consisted of measuring the gas bubbles in the mine waters.
However, considering the large quantities, the economic value is very large.
The use of hydrogen as a clean source of energy for cars, houses or power plants is one of the alternatives that the countries of the European Union are promoting in terms of clean energy and sustainable industry, replacing fossil sources, such as oil or coal.
