Genesis are delighted to announce that they have been selected for the pre-FEED of one of the world’s largest industrial plants for the production of green hydrogen in Kazakhstan!
The contract was awarded by Hyrasia one — a subsidiary of the European cleantech group SVEVIND Energy Group —which is developing a major wind-solar-hydrogen plant in Kazakhstan. The plant will produce up to two million tonnes of green hydrogen or 11 million tonnes of green ammonia per year from 2030.
To do this, millions of solar panels and thousands of wind turbines will be installed in the vast steppes of southwestern Kazakhstan, which together can generate around 40 gigawatts of renewable electricity. This energy will then be transported close to the Kazakh coastal city of Kuryk to produce green hydrogen via water electrolysis. The hydrogen will then be converted into ammonia via synthesis plants.
The Preliminary Front-End Engineering and Design phase will lay the groundwork for the planning of Hyrasia one’s implementation.
A ceremonial signing of the contract took place with Technip Energies vice president services & PMC Stephane Mespoulhes and SVEVIND CEO Wolfgang Kropp during the visit of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Kazakh Prime Minister Älihan Smaiylov to launch the geological drilling of the new project phase.
Genesis are proud to be part of this ambitious project to harness the vast renewable resources of Kazakhstan for the industrial-scale production of green hydrogen, which will play an essential role in the energy transition.
