Specialists from all over Russia will make presentations

The latest developments in the field of hydrogen energy will be presented by chemists from UrFU, the Institute of Hydrogen Energy of the Urals Federal University, the Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Skoltech, Kuban, and Chelyabinsk State Universities, and other educational institutions. Specialists from all over Russia will speak at the II Youth Scientific Conference "Hydrogen Energy Today", which started on May 17 at the Ural Federal University.

"We support the interest in science among young people in every possible way: we welcome enthusiastic students, graduate students, postdocs, and those who are just thinking about entering the university and doing science, as well as those who have already taken the first steps and, for example, will make presentations today. Dare, explore, discuss," says Pavel Pershin, Head of the Research Institute of Hydrogen Energy at UrFU.

At the conference, young scientists and leading specialists will present reports on the latest developments in the field of hydrogen energy. In particular, scientists will tell how they work on the creation of technologies for obtaining functional materials and coatings, devices for technological and environmental aspects of modern energy, and what results have been achieved.

"Hydrogen energy continues to develop very actively, and the further, the faster. It has already moved from laboratories to the industrial sector: today various hydrogen-powered substations are in use, and there are industrial multi-tonnage methods of hydrogen production. Unfortunately, this has not yet been introduced in Russia, but it is already a reality in foreign countries. And it depends on you: the young generation - among others, how hydrogen energy will develop in our country", Denis Osinkin, Head of the Laboratory of Kinetics of the Institute of High-Temperature Electrochemistry of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, made a welcoming speech.

Note that the event is held with financial support under the Priority-2030 development program.
