The potential tenant specializes in investments in renewable energy sources and plans to produce hydrogen on the island using wind power. The Danish company plans to invest in the project from 2 to 2.5 billion dollars.
“They want to produce 1.5 GW, 120 thousand tons of hydrogen. They ask to rent the island of Shumshu, because the wind is better there. This does not mean that the project will definitely take place, but serious negotiations are underway, and I report this to the country's leadership, “said Limarenko.
