HYDROGEN ENERGY FOR RUSSIA

2 IC ENERGYNET

Why hydrogen energy is important for Russia:

1. Russian power system has abundant generation with low

capacity factor and possibility to construct new generation on

the base of RES

2. There are huge part of remote territories in Russia

3. There are a lot of territories with high ecological requirements

(e.g. Arctic region)

Hydrogen is the new export product for Russian economy and driver for

electricity consumption

Hydrogen is the clean fuel for Arctic region Hydrogen energy is effective way for remote territories energy supply

RUSSIAN HYDROGEN SUPPLY CAPABILITIES

4 IC ENERGYNET

Russian hydrogen supply capabilities is 3,5 million tons per year on the

base of existing power generation only by capacity factor increase.

Priority generation for hydrogen production are:

- Locked reserves use as an alternative of grid construction for capacity

factor increase,

- Zero-carbon generation (NPP, HPP) to produce “green” hydrogen.

Power-to-gas hydrogen hub in North Netherlands

Brunei to Japan hydrogen supply chain by Chiyoda

Australia to Japan hydrogen supply chain by Kawasaki Russia has great capabilities to meet global hydrogen demand and to

cooperate on the field of pilot projects with EU, Japan, South Korea and

China as a hydrogen shipper:

1. Interconnection with Europe P2G initiatives via hydrogen hubs

2. Making new hydrogen supply chain pilots
