ASTANA, Kazakhstan, October 13. Kazakhstan has
officially approved its "Concept for the Development of Hydrogen
Energy until 2030", says Kazakh energy Ministry, Trend reports.
According to the Ministry, this document serves as a crucial
framework for advancing Kazakhstan's hydrogen energy sector and
addressing pressing environmental challenges. It highlights several
key areas, including the national goal of achieving carbon
neutrality and fulfilling international commitments to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
The concept emphasizes the development of innovative hydrogen
technologies and aims to attract significant investments for pilot
projects in this field. These initiatives are designed to integrate
cutting-edge technologies and create new opportunities within the
country's energy landscape.
The anticipated implementation of this concept is expected to
enhance Kazakhstan's position in the global energy arena, marking a
significant step toward achieving carbon neutrality.
Additionally, expanding hydrogen energy is integral to
Kazakhstan's broader strategy for transitioning to a green economy
and promoting sustainable development. This strategic focus not
only aligns with global energy trends but also positions Kazakhstan
as a potential leader in the emerging hydrogen economy, thereby
enhancing its economic resilience and environmental
stewardship.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan entered the global hydrogen landscape in
June 2021 when the Swedish-German energy company Svevind announced
plans to produce green hydrogen through its HyrasiaOne project.
With a projected cost of $50 billion, this initiative is expected
to become one of the largest of its kind in the world.
In November 2022, Astana signed a strategic partnership
agreement with Brussels aimed at advancing green hydrogen and
critical raw materials, and in March 2023, Germany established a
Hydrogen Diplomacy Office in Kazakhstan.
