The article presents an overview of the main possibilities of using hydrogen as a prospect for the "fuel of the future". Based on the main approaches to the development of hydrogen energy in foreign countries, the prospects for its application in the Russian Federation are described. An analysis of the accumulated experience of domestic and foreign companies working in the field of hydrogen energy, considering the introduction of mechanisms for the implementation of hydrogen policy, is presented. An assessment of the possibility of the Russian energy industry for the production and implementation of hydrogen, the relevance of the development of their advantages and disadvantages is presented.

Keywords: hydrogen, hydrogen energy, prospects for the use of hydrogen, combined power plant, development prospects, rating, emissions, production technology, low-carbon hydrogen, steam reforming

"The mechanical properties of the rubber-cord composite in strengh analysis are described. There is an algorithm of the numerical estimation of the effective (average) properties of the rubber-cord. The effective properties are defined by the successive application of different deformations to the representative volume of the rubber-cord composite (tensions along each coordinate axis and shifts in each cooridinate planes). The effective properties are defined in form of the generalized Hooke's law (for anisotropic materials). A serias of computations in estimatition of the effective properties of double-layer rubber-cord composite was carried out based on the proposed algorithm. The dependence of the effective elastic modules of rubber-cord on the angle of cord was explored. The according graphs are represented in the article."
