Kazakhstan has launched its first integrated green hydrogen production station developed by Nazarbayev University, featuring domestic patents and engineering solutions. The facility operates entirely on renewable energy from solar panels and wind turbines, utilizing advanced catalysts and design principles from NU's Laboratory of Renewable Energy.

Collaboration with China's Zhejiang H2-Bank Technology facilitated the design of a commercial-scale system. The station demonstrates the full cycle of green hydrogen production, converting renewable energy into electricity to power an electrolyzer that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.

The hydrogen produced is planned for use in laboratories and can serve various industrial applications. This project aligns with Kazakhstan's Hydrogen Energy Development Concept approved for 2024-2030, focusing on low-carbon energy transitions. The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and aims to advance green technology adoption in the country.
