Preparations are
underway in Kazakhstan for the implementation of a project to produce green
hydrogen in the Mangystau region. This initiative was discussed by Kazakh
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Svevind Energy Group’s Chief Executive
Officer Wolfgang Kropp. The Head of State was informed about the beginning of
preliminary design and survey works as part of the investment agreement. Thus,
there are plans to build a desalination plant, renewable energy facilities with
a capacity of 40 gigawatts, as well as a water electrolysis plant with a
capacity of 20 gigawatts and an annual production capacity of two million
tonnes of green hydrogen or 11 million tonnes of green ammonia. The preliminary
investment amount is estimated to exceed 50 billion euros. According to
Wolfgang Kropp, the start of infrastructure construction is scheduled for 2027,
while the commissioning is slated for 2032.
