Taking into account the forecasts of the RF economic development and the requirements of the international Paris agreement aimed at regulating measures to reduce the content of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, it is possible to replace the supply of products from the traditional hydrocarbon energy market by hydrogen and methane-hydrogen mixtures (MHM). The paper describes the technologies and features of automation of production and storage of industrial hydrogen and methane-hydrogen mixtures, as well as the risks arising from this. It has been established that the creation of territorial hydrogen clusters of the full life cycle (production - storage - transportation - use) is currently possible in the areas with the following indicators: excess energy generation, significant volumes of natural gas, a storage network in the form of depleted fields or artificially created containers, an extensive hydrocarbon transportation system and the territorial location of industrial consumers. In the absence of actual data on the extent of methane-hydrogen mixtures impact on oil and gas pipelines and moreover on underground storage facilities, it seems logical to limit the use of hydrogen and biogas in industrial volumes through the transportation system until the consequences are clarified and operating rules are developed. In this perspective, it is necessary to conduct scientific research on the issues of underground storage of non-hydrocarbon gases and their mixtures in aquifers and depleted fields using the existing and future automation systems.
