The volume of hydrogen supplies from Russia to the European union may reach at least $20-30 billion by 2030, according to special representative of the Russian president for sustainable development Anatoly Chubais.
“The Russian hydrogen upstream is a colossal national project that we can and should deploy in the coming, if not quarters, then at least years," Chubais said at a seminar in Moscow.
He noted that the EU intends to increase the hydrogen market to 10 million tonnes/year by 2030, half of which will need to be covered by imports, Kallanish notes.
“This creates excellent opportunities for Russian business, as there is an extensive network of pipelines in Russia that can be used to supply this type of fuel without any modernization,” according to Chubais. “Russia has the ability to produce hydrogen fuel, as well as a very cheap way to transport it.”
Earlier this month, Russia published the new concept for the development of hydrogen energy. According to the document, the potential volumes of hydrogen exports from Russia to the world market in 2050 may range from 15-50m t/y.
In the draft of this concept in April, it was assumed that by 2050, from 7.9-33.4m t/y of hydrogen would be exported from the country per year, earning more than $100 billion/y.
In the final version of the concept, there is no information on the expected revenue from sales of hydrogen abroad. But the forecast for its production and export has been increased by 1.5-2X.
Thus, if an estimate of the export of 33.4m t/y of hydrogen at $100 billion, then supplies of 50m t could bring Russia about $150 billion annually. The document was developed by the Ministry of Energy and agreed with companies and relevant departments.
