Russia will allocate over 9 billion rubles until 2024 for the introduction and implementation of domestic production technologies, including the Arctic, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a strategic session on the development of hydrogen energy as part of the Russian Energy Week forum. takes place on October 13-15 in Moscow. The forum is broadcasted by the TV channel “Russia 24” and media platform “Watching”…

According to him, “Russian large mining and energy companies are actively involved in energy production, including from nuclear power plants and renewable energy sources.”

The Russian government approved in the framework of one of the 42 socio-economic development initiatives more than 9 billion rubles on this topic, Mishustin recalled.

The development of hydrogen energy is essential for diversification. “More than 60 countries have already announced their intention to move to metal neutrality.

Russia plans to sign an agreement on cooperation in hydrogen energy with France, Australia and South Korea: hydrogen production in the world is growing by 3-4% a year, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak in turn. There is no market, but the forecast for its volume by 2050 “ranges from several tens of millions to almost 700 million tons per year.” “At present, 116 million tons of ammonia have been produced (vodorda – ed.),” Novak specified.

The Russian government on August 9 approved concept for the development of hydrogen energy in the Russian Federation, the first stage, which is designed for 3.5 years. The concept defines strategic initiatives and key strategies for the creation of hydrogen energy in Russia. The concept will be implemented in several stages, the first of which is designed for 3.5 years. According to the first stage, specialized clusters will be created in the country.

It is planned to create at least three territorial production clusters. The Northwest will export hydrogen to European countries.

Vostochny will export hydrogen to Asian countries, and it will also specialize in the development of hydrogen infrastructure in the field and energy. And the Arctic cluster will deal with the low-carbon electricity supply to the domestic Arctic.
