Abstract

For the first time, Russia's Far North-East prospects for hydrogen production by the method of water electrolysis, using climatic energy sources and ultra-fresh mountain-river water, are comprehensively assessed. Taking into account the identified regional features, it is calculated that, with the current technical level of development, the amount of hydrogen produced in the region will be controlled just by the amount of used ultra-fresh mountain-river water. Thus, using no more than 10 percent of the general runoff (18 billion m3 water), it is possible to annually obtain 2x109 tons of "green" hydrogen through the operation of wind and solar power plants. To accommodate the latter, it is ecologically feasible to use the areas in mountain tundras and forest-tundras on flattened and flat watersheds.
