Аннотация:The article views on the Sea of Okhotsk tidal energy potential, and background for the growth of hydrogen production and exports from Russian Far East using tidal energy. The authors consider both advantages and disadvantages of construction of Tugurskaya and Penzhinskaya tidal power plants on the Sea of Okhotsk coast. The work analyses the expected electricity production from Tugurskaya and Penzhinskaya tidal power plants, their possibilities to supply internal and neighboring East Asian market, and evaluates their opportunities to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis. The conclusion is that these tidal power plants can generate up to 4.5 million tons of hydrogen annually that would cover a significant part of the East Asia demand for hydrogen.
