據7月8日Neftegaz.Ru消息：俄羅斯和德國商會在7月7日表示，兩國企業已提議擴大能源關系，并建設一座制氫廠。

“俄羅斯和德國應利用在石油和天然氣行業多年成功合作的優勢，密切合作開發氫能和氣候友好型技術，以促進未來發展。”兩國商會負責人馬蒂亞斯·謝普稱，作為試點項目，兩國應首先建立一座制氫廠。

俄羅斯和德國在石油和天然氣領域傳統上有著牢固的戰略伙伴關系，特別是在建設北溪2號天然氣管道方面。

這項氫能源計劃將擴大俄羅斯和德國在今年2月宣布的能源合作伙伴關系，并允許根據巴黎氣候協議減少全球溫室氣體排放。

德國準備為包括俄羅斯在內的國際伙伴參與的此類項目撥款20億歐元(約22.6億美元)。

商會表示:“俄羅斯作為能源超級大國，擁有巨大水資源，是進行這種合作的理想伙伴。”

Russia and Germany mull hydrogen partnership to fight climate change

Russian and German businesses have proposed an expansion of energy ties and the construction of a hydrogen production plant, the German-Russian Chamber of Commerce said July 7.

"Russia and Germany should take advantage of years of their successful partnership in the oil and gas industry to closely cooperate in the development of hydrogen, climate-friendly technologies for the future," the proposal sent to relevant ministries of both countries said.

As a pilot project, the two countries should start by building a hydrogen production plant, Matthias Schepp, the head of the chamber of commerce, said.

Russia and Germany traditionally enjoy a strong strategic partnership in the oil and gas sector, notably building the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

The hydrogen initiative would expand the Russian-German energy partnership announced in February and allow for a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris climate deal.

Germany is ready to allocate EUR 2 billion (about $2.26 billion) for such projects involving international partners, including Russia.

"Russia, as the largest country in the world and an energy superpower with colossal water resources, is an ideal partner for such cooperation," the chamber of commerce said.
