Current trends in hydrogen energy and it’s prospects in Kazakhstan
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2023.12.029-044
Abstract
Hydrogen energy has become increasingly popular in recent years. Hydrogen can be used for energy storage and delivery and is considered as a promising energy carrier in the framework of energy decarbonization. The main advantages of hydrogen are the possibility of obtaining it from various sources and the absence of carbon dioxide emissions when it is used as an energy carrier. In this regard, developed countries are launching their own strategies for the development of hydrogen energy, trying to meet the annually increasing demand for clean energy. Hydrogen energy is becoming increasingly important for Kazakhstan, given its commitment to decarbonizing the economy and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
This article presents the analysis results of the current state of hydrogen energy in the world and in Kazakhstan. Methods of hydrogen production, demand for hydrogen in the future, as well as hydrogen strategies of the largest developed countries were also considered. It is shown that the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Kazakhstan are energy and industrial activities, which should become the object of the introduction of hydrogen technologies. Also, Kazakhstan's high potential to become a major supplier of green and blue hydrogen due to sufficient hydrocarbon reserves and climatic conditions for the development of renewable energy sources was noted.
