A portion of ancient oceanic crust that sits atop Albania and hosts one of the largest chromium mines on Earth also contains a huge hydrogen reservoir, offering a potential source of clean energy.

It is "geologic" hydrogen, not a fossil fuel.

As much as 55,000 tons (50,000 metric tons) of hydrogen could lurk in the reservoir beneath the mine

i meant "fossil" in the way that there is a limited amount of it.

“Fossil”means coming from living organisms, but this is a geologic formation. So it is the wrong word.

alright, "limited" it is.

pretty cool discovery, i just hope real methods of producing hydrogen get constructed.
