Prospects for Hydrogen Power in Europe

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

This research continues our inquiries into the technological and economic potential for hydrogen production in Russia [1]. The significant changes in global political and economic conditions in 2021 are taken into account. In 2022, Europe’s energy market reflected a shortage of thermal and electrical energy. The energy policy of the European Union (EU) is analyzed; this policy was approved in 2005 and has been formalized in several editions of the EU’s renewable energy directive. Special attention is paid to the trend in European toward renewable energy sources.
