will launch the production of green hydrogen in the Tashkent region
in 2025, Rustambek Eshbekov, spokesperson of Uzbekistan's
Uzkimyosanoat state chemical company told reporters during the
online briefing, Trend reports.
The company representative clarified that the project is being
implemented in the city of Chirchik in Uzbekistan's Tashkent
region.
"As part of the $88 million project, the first stage will see
the production of 3,000 tons of green hydrogen begin in 2025. The
second stage of the project will include the manufacture of up to
500,000 tons of ammonia per year from green hydrogen, as well as
the construction of a fleet of wind power plants with a capacity of

project are looking to collaborate with Uzbekistan on green
hydrogen generation.

representatives of the Slovenian Ministry of Infrastructure, the
Croatian Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, and the
