St.Petersburg, February 21 - Neftegaz.RU. The Gazprom Management Committee on February 20 took note of the information about the Company's international marketing strategy.

Moreover, it is looking into the possibility of implementing hydrogen energy projects, including technologies related to the production of hydrogen from natural gas without CO2 emissions.

The meeting participants reviewed key events associated with the marketing strategy. The issue of the marketing strategy will be submitted for consideration by the Gazprom Board of Directors.
