The analysis underscores the significant role of the transportation sector as a source of greenhouse gas emissions in Kazakhstan, accounting for approximately 10%. With Kazakhstan's strategic geographic location and the government's ambition to develop international transit logistics routes, the sector is poised for continued growth. However, it heavily relies on petroleum products for energy, highlighting the urgent need for decarbonization to achieve the country's goal of carbon neutrality by 2060.
Hydrogen technologies emerge as a pivotal solution, aligning with global trends observed in over 25 countries, including those with similar geographical and economic profiles to Kazakhstan. Notably, China, with its extensive border with Kazakhstan, leads in hydrogen transportation initiatives, as seen in projects like the Belt and Road Initiative. Recommendations for policymakers emphasize integrating the transportation sector into the national hydrogen strategy, synchronizing energy and transportation policies, analyzing international best practices, aligning development goals with hydrogen production, fostering stakeholder coordination, adapting regulations to international standards, and enhancing international collaboration on hydrogen transport initiatives.
These efforts not only address emissions reduction but also position Kazakhstan as a key player in the global hydrogen economy.
