According to him, work is underway on a special hydrogen burner.

How to make the burner work on both methane and hydrogen? This is a rather big scientific problem that we are solving for ourselves. We are currently conducting tests in Samara of a 32 mWT engine, which we are currently developing, and which is equipped with these burners.

The engine was produced at the Samara enterprise "UEC-Kuznetsov", it was created on the basis of a serial unit with a capacity of 25 MW using modern technologies and solutions.
