CNRS

Geological processes that generate dihydrogen through oxidation of iron-rich minerals in ultrabasic rocks or water-rock interactions deep underground.

Identified as an effective co-catalyst material to enhance the efficiency of water molecule splitting.

Electrodes engineered at the nanoscale to enhance their surface area and light absorption properties for improved photocatalytic activity.

Moselle region's Lorraine mining basin

Midcontinent Rift System

A planned pilot site to be identified and built in the Grand-Est Region for locally producing and recovering natural hydrogen based on exploration results from the Trois-Évêchés Permit.

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.

A collaboration focused on developing high-performance H2 fuel cell components for heavy-duty trucks with a minimum lifespan of 30,000 hours, aiming to decarbonize freight transport.
