Abstract

The paper examines various practices of developing and adopting technologies of production, transportation, storage and usage of hydrogen in the developed countries. The experience of leading countries of the world in the field of development and application of technologies of hydrogen production, transportation, storage and use is considered. The primary economic and social factors of hydrogen energy development and its role in achieving long-term goals of countries in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are highlighted. The potential of “green” hydrogen for transportation needs in Russia, including its impact on electricity prices, was assessed with the aid of a highly detailed model of the representative energy system RUHOUR. Sensitivity analysis showed that at a price of more than $2 per kgH2 (~$0.2 per liter of gasoline), it is most likely that the entire potential demand for hydrogen can be met. The development of large-scale green hydrogen generation infrastructure in Russia can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, accelerate diversification of the export structure, and reduce electricity prices for end users.
