Prospects for the development of hydrogen energy in the Russian Federation

Abstract

Currently, in the energy strategies presented by Japan, the Republic of South Korea, the Russian Federation and the countries of the European Union, hydrogen is considered as a promising energy carrier that should replace fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) and be used for accumulation, storage and delivery of energy to different regions of the world. The improvement of hydrogen energy technologies plays a special role in the low-carbon development of the world economy. The main advantages of hydrogen are the possibility of obtaining it from various sources and the absence of carbon dioxide emissions when it is used as an energy carrier, which is especially important against the backdrop of the current climate agenda. In the meantime, this energy carrier is artificially created, since there are no deposits of free hydrogen in nature. Therefore, hydrogen should be perceived precisely as a “carrier” of energy, and not as a fuel. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the feasibility of building tidal power plants, the development of hydrogen technologies and industrial complexes in the Russian Federation.
