The energy partnership between China and Russia is evolving towards a greener future, with a focus on hydrogen and renewables to complement their traditional fossil fuel trade. Zhang Xiuling, director of the Overseas Investment Environment Department at China National Petroleum Corp, emphasized the significant expansion of collaboration between the two countries over the past three decades. The partnership not only enhances energy security for China and Russia but also contributes to global energy supply chain stability and the balance of global energy demand and supply. The China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline, with substantial transmission capacity, plays a crucial role in meeting China's gas demand. Both countries are committed to deepening energy collaboration, with a strong emphasis on honoring long-term oil and gas trade contracts and ensuring stable and reliable supplies. Russia is positioning itself to be a major global hydrogen supplier, focusing on blue hydrogen from natural gas and yellow hydrogen from nuclear power. China's expertise in hydrogen technology and increasing market demand align well with Russia's resource potential, setting the stage for comprehensive hydrogen industry collaboration. The prospects for collaboration extend to low-carbon technologies, carbon capture, utilization and storage, and integration into carbon markets. Both countries, targeting carbon neutrality by 2060, have the opportunity to work together in transitioning towards green energy. The partnership signifies a shift towards a new era of green energy collaboration beyond traditional fossil fuels.
