A new agreement between KazMunayGas and Linde is expected to strengthen Kazakhstan’s hydrogen and ammonia markets.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by the two parties to investigate the generation of green and blue hydrogen and ammonia in order to speed up clean energy initiatives in the area

A feasibility study will be carried out to investigate the use of natural gas as a feedstock to manufacture blue hydrogen and blue ammonia and water electrolysis technologies to create green hydrogen and green ammonia in order to achieve this goal.

After the feasibility study is completed, the collaboration will begin work on developing a green hydrogen and green ammonia manufacturing facility in Kazakhstan.
