The idea is not a new one. In Romania, former president Ceausescu wanted to build a power plant using the hydrogen sulfide from the bottom of the sea. It could bring to our country 50 years of energetic independence. That was too much for Russian authorities, who convinced Ceausescu that it was not enough hydrogen sulfide in the Black Sea to power the plant. So the idea died. After the Revolution, in 1989, Romanian scientists began to investigate the problem again. There came the conspiracy theories saying that Russians wanted to blow up the entire sea (using the flammable gas below) if NATO army planned to invade Russia. A more realistic concern was that the concentration of the gas is continuously growing, putting in danger the entire ecosystem in the Black Sea. So it needs a solution. In 2004, Romanian scientists in Ramnicu Valcea came with the idea of producing clean energy by burning the gas ”in situ”. But unfortunately the story ends here: the government does not seem interested in this problem, and the appropriations for research are very small...
