Abstract
The article discusses current trends in selection of the energy sources. The versatile nature of actions is noted by foreign countries in terms of changes in the carbon footprint in the energy sector. The current international economic situation, technological as well as natural potential of the Russian Federation allow it to both produce environmentally friendly fuel, i.e. hydrogen, using renewable energy sources, and to mine traditional fuels, such as coal. A comparison of the most promising types of fuel for the power generation industry is presented. The prospects of hydrogen production in Russia are indicated. The paper will also discuss the advantages of coal as a fuel source for power generation in modern conditions.
Keywords
