Russian investors in “green” (carbon-free, hydrogen) production may delay the commissioning of projects with a total capacity of 3 GW due to international sanctions. The main factors that slowed the launch were: the lack of equipment suppliers, the growth of foreign exchange prices for metals and the high workload of factories in the Russian Federation, informs The newspaper “Kommersant”, which refers to the statistics “manager of the trading system”.
According to analysts at the Market Council (the regulator of energy markets), the temporary postponement of the previously mentioned plans for the implementation of almost half of renewable energy projects will not be delayed for more than a year. Most of the projects were supposed to be completed before 2028, but due to sanctions and the departure of a number of foreign manufacturers, the deadlines will have to be shifted to implement the plans.
Investors in “green” generation have experienced delays in the launch of renewable energy projects (renewable energy sources – socialbites.ca) with a total capacity of more than 3 GW. The lion’s share of the projects shelved are wind farms (RES). The commissioning of mini hydroelectric power plants may also be delayed,” the article says.
So, until recently, the Danish company Vestas was the main supplier of equipment for the construction of wind farms. The article received a two-year postponement for all wind farms of the Fortum company (controlled by Fortum of Finland), due to the cessation of its activities in the Russian market.
January 23, representatives of the press service of Tomsk Polytechnic University reportedThat Russia has invented new catalysts for hydrogen production based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The value of the discovery lies in the recognition of hydrogen as a promising type of fuel, since its combustion does not produce carbon dioxide.
