Kazakhstan is being viewed as a significant player in the emerging hydrogen market, especially for green hydrogen production. A training week in Astana organized by Germany highlighted Kazakhstan's potential in the green hydrogen sector. While the country has the resources and infrastructure for pilot projects, challenges such as water scarcity and the need to transition to green hydrogen pose hurdles. The United Nations advises caution and suggests focusing on blue hydrogen as a transitional solution. Kazakhstan aims to have 50% of its hydrogen production as green by 2040. The country faces the task of decarbonizing its industries while balancing export ambitions with domestic needs. Initiatives with the EU and regional partnerships aim to strengthen Kazakhstan's position in clean industrial development, emphasizing decarbonization over immediate exports.
