HYDROGEN-CONTAINING GAS AS A PROMISING SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR OIL AND GAS COMPLEX OF RUSSIA

Sammanfattning: In this paper, the state of hydrogen energy in the world and in Russia has been evaluated. Details of international projects that have been implemented in recent years. The main methods of hydrogen production and methods of its use in power engineering are also analyzed. Taking into account the peculiarities of the Russian energy industry, the cost of electricity and natural gas, an estimate of the cost of 1 kg of hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water and steam conversion of natural gas was carried out. The calculation of energy production using three different plants (Bloom Box Energy Server, GMI-140 diesel generator and Capstone microturbine) has shown that the Bloom Box Energy Server significantly benefits in terms of economic as well as environmental performance. In the calculation part, the energy efficiency of the submitted projects is compared.
