in the contemporary world, the trends for extension of the alternative energy sources get significant widespread use. In this segment, the hydrogen plays the most important part. As an energy carrier, this chemical element has been known to the world for more than one and a half centuries. However, its specific physical and chemical properties and its high-cost production did not allow the hydrogen for gaining wide use in the fuel and energy complex industries. Due to the global economy focus on decarbonization growing influence on the development of the international power markets, the world community strives for progressive transition to using low-carbon and carbon-free energy sources. And it is the hydrogen, as an environmentally clean fuel, cam play one of the crucial roles in gaining the carbon neutrality. Thus, today the hydrogen energetics gets the second chance for its accelerated development . Based on the available competitive advantages, the

The climate agenda and the desire to maximize decarbonisation of the global economy are becoming more widespread in many countries of the world. To a large extent, this trend has also affected the energy complex, where in recent years there has been an increase in investments in the development of the FEC alternative branches. Russia has traditionally been the world

The goals and objectives of the Arctic sustainable development are analyzed in this article. One of the main factors ensuring their implementation is innovations in the Arctic oil and gas and energy projects. The article includes many examples of innovation projects both in Russia and in Norway. The authors reason to the conclusion on the necessity of more active implementation of such innovations both for activation of the region social and economic

Historical approach to the world energy forecasting can provide useful results on extended time horizons several decades deep. The genetic forecast assumes the global energy consumption at 30 bln tons level of conventional fuel and carbon dioxide concentration further rise to nearly 500 mln-1 by the end of this century. From a historical point of view, the implementation of the

The article provides an overview of the resources of nconventional hydrocarbons. In the
total volume of oil-containing resources, the share of unconventional types of oil resources reaches
90 % and amounts to 1.7–1.8 trillion tons. Implementation of unconventional hydrocarbon resources
(natural bitumens, oil shales) in industrial production requires solving technical problems both in their
extraction as well as in the processing of extracted materials into liquid hydrocarbons (synthetic oil).
Under current market conditions these types of hydrocarbon resources are of limited importance
for the world economy. Further development and use of unconventional hydrocarbon resources
requires reliable geological data on the amount of available reserves and their physical and chemical
properties. The development of technologies for producing hydrogen from unconventional hydrocarbon
resources and hydroconversion of this feedstocks into synthetic oil, motor fuels, and raw materials
for petrochemicals is promising
The publication reviews the existing and prospective technologies of marking crude oil and crude oil products and their efficacy and economic feasibility.
