DISCUSSION:
At present, hydrogen is considered a promising energy carrier, enabling the implementation of decarbonization goals. Many countries are adopting national strategies and roadmaps that envisage a gradual transition to a low-carbon economy. For the Russian Federation, it is important not only to stay aligned with global trends but also to set the development trends of the new industry in order to gain a technological advantage that ensures the competitiveness of its economy. To achieve this, it is essential to develop mechanisms for interaction between the state, science, and business concerning the energy transition and the development of new energy based on the use of hydrogen. Additionally, it is crucial to support international cooperation and access foreign markets with ready-made products and technologies.TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
1. Hydrogen production. Transition from a policy of discrimination against hydrogen producers to a policy of stimulating the use of the full spectrum of hydrogen. The role of natural gas in the process of a just energy transition.
2. Hydrogen transportation. Russian solutions for the transportation and storage of liquid hydrogen. The role of distributed logistics in ensuring energy security.
3. Hydrogen consumption. Hydrogen clusters as an effective model for increasing hydrogen consumption. The role of the transport industry in the development of the hydrogen consumption market.
4. Standardization of technologies for hydrogen energy. Standardization as the basis for technological independence and leadership.
