Chubais called himself a “renewable energy maniac” – RBK

Russia needs platform technologies, despite the fact that renewable energy is the most important thing for the country. This was stated by the special presidential envoy for relations with international organizations on sustainable development Anatoly Chubais, RBC correspondent reports.

“If we seriously aim at [на участие в энергопереходе], then we need a technology that is not a niche – we have fixed some niche, not an industry one – [например] renewable energy. I love renewable energy, I am a renewable energy maniac! This is the most important thing for us. [Но] it is an industry technology. And there are also platform technologies that completely change the entire cluster of materials, ”Chubais said.

According to him, such a technology that can “turn the globe” already exists – it is a single-walled carbon nanotube.

“Using this technology, the first startup was created in Russia, which became the first ‘unicorn’ with a market capitalization of $ 1 billion,” Chubais noted. We are talking about the manufacturer of OCSiAl graphene nanotubes from the Rusnano portfolio, which was estimated at $ 1 billion by Alexander Mamut’s A&NN group in 2019.
