In a meeting today (August 9th) a Draft hydrogen energy development concept was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
“The Government has prepared a draft concept for the development of hydrogen energy. It defines the goals, strategic initiatives and key measures to launch this branch of industry here. The concept is to be implemented in several stages.
The first stage, the next three and a half years, will involve the creation of specialised clusters and the implementation of pilot projects for the production and export of hydrogen, as well as the use of hydrogen energy in the domestic market.
At the further stages, we will set up large export-oriented production facilities and subsequently widely adopt hydrogen technologies in various sectors of the economy, from petrochemistry to housing and utilities.
Hydrogen energy will reduce the risks of losing energy markets and support economic growth through development of new production facilities, as well as the creation of high-tech jobs, and the export of products and technologies.” Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting with the Deputy Prime Ministers.
