“The government has prepared a draft concept for the development of hydrogen energy.

It defines the goals, strategic initiatives and key measures to create this industry in the country.

It is planned to implement it in several stages, ”said Prime Minister Mishustin during the meeting.

According to him, the first stage, calculated for the next 3.5 years, involves the creation of specialized clusters and the implementation of pilot projects for the production and export of hydrogen, as well as the use of hydrogen energy carriers in the domestic market.

"The development of hydrogen energy will reduce the risks of losing energy markets and support economic growth through the formation of new industries," Mishustin added.

Earlier it became known that the Russian government is considering the possibility of creating working groups to adapt the Russian economy to the global energy transition.
