Petrochemicals can bring from $ 9 billion to $ 18 billion in additional non-resource exports per year due to the production of 8-16 million tons of products, which increases the cost of raw materials by 40-300%, informs TASS with reference to the deputy minister's statement.
He added that Russia plans to intensively increase the export of hydrogen and by 2030 to occupy 20-25% of the world market for hydrogen trade.
According to him, the department will soon prepare a concept for the development of the hydrogen industry.
