The parties intend to elaborate on the creation of a joint venture investment foundation that will focus on the development of promising domestic hydrogen technologies and are considering the joint financing of investments into hydrogen projects to be followed by the commercialization of promising initiatives.

Their economic and industrial scale-up is under consideration”, Dmitry Peskov, special presidential representative on digital and technological development, said.
Last week, during a meeting with the leaders of leading engineering schools and their industrial partners participating in the Advanced Engineering Schools project, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that hydrogen was an inexhaustible energy source that would be definitely in demand and neither wind nor solar energy could match it.
General Director of H2 Invest Anton Kovalevsky stressed that despite the changes in the global energy system, future belonged to hydrogen technologies with domestic hydrogen developments contributing to the energy security and independence of the country.
