Kazakhstan plans to create a pilot hydrogen vehicleThe Government of Kazakhstan elaborates a concept for hydrogen energy development until 2040, with a possibility of creating a hydrogen vehicle.“A pilot project will be implemented to create hydrogen vehicles (primarily buses and trucks) and rail transport with its further introduction in large cities in order to reduce the environmental impact,” the document published on the Open Legal Regulations website for public discussion until May 13 says.The necessary infrastructure for hydrogen transport, filling stations, experimental sites for the production and use of hydrogen as an energy storage device in local energy systems with its subsequent use for generating electricity will also be developed.In addition, it is planned to implement pilot projects for the use of hydrogen in housing and communal services, if its safety and economic feasibility is confirmed.It is also planned to organize the production of low-carbon hydrogen at export-oriented industrial enterprises that use hydrogen in the production process.To stimulate investment in the development of hydrogen energy, the government intends to use state support measures, the document notes.
