* Nord Stream 2 pipeline could be repurposed for hydrogen
* Russia looking at green future planned by key customer (Adds details from conference)
FRANKFURT, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Germany is in close communication with Russia about the potential of “green” hydrogen production and transport, Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said at a Russian-German conference.
Altmaier said in the webcast that Russia could work with Germany in the production and transport of green hydrogen that Germany hopes to develop on a large scale by sending renewable power from wind and sunshine through electrolysis to make synthetic fuel for the industry, energy and transport sectors.
“We offer Russia a deeper cooperation,” he said.
