In areas of the Earth with active endogenous regimes, degassing of the interior is often observed, usually confined to deep faults. Among the gases arriving at the surface, the highest concentrations are water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrocarbons (mainly methane). Hydrogen is distributed much less. But hydrogen degassing of the Earth may be of practical interest, because it serves as a source for the formation of environmentally friendly fuel deposits. Such deposit
