“…The environmental impact of large-scale mining in the Murmansk Region shows itself as the amplitudinous pollution of air, soil and water, which eventually deteriorates quality of life [8]. In mining regions in Russia, ecologists pay close attention to usability of mineral mining and processing waste placed in dumps and tailings ponds.…”

This article describes the applied research outcomes in the field of restoration ecology in the Russian regions which carry out open pit mining of solid minerals of all types. Russian ecologists address the issues connected with the evaluation and recovery of soil cover, improvement of the wildlife habitat quality, as well as with the air, water and vegetation ecosystem refining in open pit mining regions. The infomedia for dealing with ecological challenges have shaped in the course of the field testing and lab-scale analysis. All researchers highlight the large scale of the manmade damage caused to natural landscapes and emphasize the necessity of ecological balance acceleration and maintenance on the lands damaged by the mineral mining and processing industry.

“…The climate agenda continues to be considered as a priority by countries and the world community as a whole [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Decarbonization is becoming the most important driver of the growing demand for the ability of energy systems to adapt consumption to the optimal schedule for generation.…”

Prospects and Obstacles for Green Hydrogen Production in Russia

Renewable energy is considered the one of the most promising solutions to meet sustainable development goals in terms of climate change mitigation. Today, we face the problem of further scaling up renewable energy infrastructure, which requires the creation of reliable energy storages, environmentally friendly carriers, like hydrogen, and competitive international markets. These issues provoke the involvement of resource-based countries in the energy transition, which is questionable in terms of economic efficiency, compared to conventional hydrocarbon resources. To shed a light on the possible efficiency of green hydrogen production in such countries, this study is aimed at: (1) comparing key Russian trends of green hydrogen development with global trends, (2) presenting strategic scenarios for the Russian energy sector development, (3) presenting a case study of Russian hydrogen energy project «Dyakov Ust-Srednekanskaya HPP» in Magadan region. We argue that without significant changes in strategic planning and without focus on sustainable solutions support, the further development of Russian power industry will be halted in a conservative scenario with the limited presence of innovative solutions in renewable energy industries. Our case study showed that despite the closeness to Japan hydrogen market, economic efficiency is on the edge of zero, with payback period around 17 years. The decrease in project capacity below 543.6 MW will immediately lead to a negative NPV. The key reason for that is the low average market price of hydrogen ($14/kg), which is only a bit higher than its production cost ($12.5/kg), while transportation requires about $0.96/kg more. Despite the discouraging results, it should be taken into account that such strategic projects are at the edge of energy development. We see them as an opportunity to lead transnational energy trade of green hydrogen, which could be competitive in the medium term, especially with state support.
