Estimation of Wind Energy Resources in Regions of Russia for Green Hydrogen Production and Reduction of CO2 Emission

The problem of hydrogen production using renewable energy sources in the world and in Russia is considered. Preliminary estimates of possible volumes of hydrogen production and of carbon dioxide emission reducing in the coastal regions of the North and East of Russia using wind power plants have been carried out. Based on the calculations of the wind characteristics variability over a 30-year period for the Sakhalin Peninsula, an analysis of possible interannual and within-year variability of the capacity factor was accomplish. Estimates of the prospects for reducing of CO2 emissions due to the potential for green hydrogen production using wind power plants energy as an alternative to fuel power plants in regions of Russia are completed.
