Hydrogen energy in Russia: current state and perspectives

Abstract

Over the past decade, there have been qualitative changes in the field of hydrogen energy and technologies related to it. The concept of hydrogen systems, which originated in the late 70s of the last century, has now grown into a dynamically developing scientific and technical direction, included in the development program not only of individual countries, but also of the global energy sector as a whole. Russia can also make a great contribution to the creation of the global hydrogen infrastructure in the future. In the future, our country can become one of the leading suppliers of "green" hydrogen to the world market, which will make the Russian economy more competitive. However, it should be noted that until now, in many national concepts for the development of hydrogen energy, as well as at the level of individual companies, there is a lack of a systematic approach and balanced strategic recommendations, which often hinders the development of this area of energy and related industries.
