Limitless 'white' hydrogen could soon shatter all energy assumptions

Scientists have long argued that pockets of exploitable geological hydrogen are more abundant than hitherto supposed. The perpetual burning gas at Chimaera in Turkey - believed to be the source of the Olympic flame - has a hydrogen content reaching 11.3 per cent. There is another such marvel at Los Fuegos Eternos in the Philippines. It has been known since 2012 that hydrogen beneath the village of Bourakebougou in Mali has 98 per cent purity. The site was discovered in the 1980s when it blew up in the face of a local man smoking a cigarette while drilling for water….
