European Energy Transition and Natural Hydrogen Discovery
Germany's Ruhr region is attempting to transition from coal and steel to a hydrogen-based economy as the country phases out nuclear and fossil fuel plants. Meanwhile, scientists in France have reportedly discovered vast deposits of "natural hydrogen" underground, which could serve as a carbon-free fuel source. Skepticism is expressed regarding hydrogen's ability to reach the high temperatures required for industrial steel manufacturing.
