Abstract
The Northeast Asian Region is a home for the major world’s energy importers and Russia – the top energy exporter. Due to the depletion of national fossil energy resources, the industrialised East Asian economies are facing serious energy security issues. The snapshot of the intraregional energy trade in 2019 was analysed in terms of development potential. Japan, Korea and China are at the frontline of hydrogen energy technologies commercialisation and hydrogen energy infrastructure development. The drivers for such endeavours are listed and national institutions for hydrogen energy development are characterised. The priorities related to regional cooperation on hydrogen energy in Northeast Asia were derived on the basis of hydrogen production cost estimations. These priorities include steady development of international natural gas and power infrastructure. The shared process will lead to the synergy of regional fossil and renewable resources within combined power and hydrogen infrastructure.

The priorities related to regional cooperation on hydrogen energy in Northeast Asia were derived on the basis of hydrogen production cost estimations
The implementation of the energy transition paradigm in the Northeast Asian (NEA) economies will lead to the transformation of the traditional global energy markets and discoveries of new patterns of regional cooperation
Summary
Hydrogen energy is one of the key components in the energy transition paradigm, which implies energy systems transformation. The objectives include analysing the current state of energy cooperation in the region, assessing the possibilities of hydrogen production technologies in the long term, and making the implications about hydrogen energy influence on regional energy cooperation
