    Description
    Description

    Kazakhstan harms the world community by increasing the water level in the ocean by annually releasing water to the Arctic Ocean in an amount of 16.5 cubic km of water per year from the North of Kazakhstan. With increase of the ocean water level many islands, including islands of Kiribati, Seychelles, Maldives, Micronesia, Nauru, Marshalls, Solomons, Madeleines are under disappearing danger. It will be reasonable to decrease the amount of water, which is released from Kazakhstan to the Arctic ocean.
    Kazakhstan is targeted to destroy the Caspian Lake, which is already a shrinking lake, similarly as the Aral Lake, by taking the Caspian Lake water for Hydrogen production in the West Kazakhstan, Mangistau region. Kazakhstan works on the implementation of the HYRASIA ONE project in cooperation with the European cleantech group SVEVIND Energy Group. This project’s aim is to build one of the world’s largest industrial plants for the production of pure green hydrogen in Kazakhstan with an investment of 50 Billion dollars. HYRASIA ONE is creating a wind-solar-hydrogen plant in Kazakhstan that will produce up to 2 million tonnes of green hydrogen or 11 million tonnes of green ammonia per year, https://hyrasia.energy/, https://hyrasia.energy/2022/10/27/important-milestone-achieved-investme…, https://invest.gov.kz/ru/media-center/press-releases/kazakhstan-obespec…
    This Kazakhstan HYRASIA ONE project is identical to African Namibia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75dXFyQ5m9Y, which is in development now. The complexity of Kazakhstan's HYRASIA ONE project implementation is related to the water resources availability issues and the cost of electricity in West Kazakhstan, Mangistau region. It will be reasonable to develop the alternative solutions with reasonable expenses without harming Nature.
    The alternative solution, which we are proposing to develop, is to set up the Hydrogen production facilities in North Kazakhstan, to use 16.5 cubic km of water, which is released annually to the Arctic Ocean. Moreover, North Kazakhstan has cheap electricity production facilities. Water and electricity will be low cost, to make the Hydrogen production reasonable. The Japanese Toshiba company already tested container-based Hydrogen production technologies https://www.global.toshiba/ww/news/corporate/2015/04/pr2001.html for more than seven years. A similar approach could be applied to the installation of Hydrogen and Ammonia production modules. In this case, the electricity and water resources could be more connected and efficient for the next Hydrogen and Ammonia production chain.
    Ammonia is a pungent gas that is widely used to make agricultural fertilizers. Green ammonia production, the process of making ammonia, is 100% renewable and carbon-free. Globally, the fertilizer industry is responsible for about 1.1% of annual carbon emissions, due to using fossil energy as feedstock (approximately 80% of production uses natural gas, while coal accounts for approximately 15%). Green ammonia is currently the fertilizer industry’s best bet at reducing emissions.

    Expected Impact

    The New Global Framework for Managing Nature meeting, which was hosted in Canada, in December 2022, phased out reforms by scaling up positive incentives for biodiversity conservation and sustainable land use, with mobilization of at least $200 Billion/year from different sources for biodiversity-related funding, raising international financial flows from developed to developing countries to at least US$ 30 Billion/year, some of this support could be also applied for Hydrogen type of projects https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/story/cop15-ends-landmark-biodive… Hydrogen production technologies could be connected and developed in cooperation with Toshiba company.
    The Ammonia fertilizers production could be in cooperation with Kazphosphate https://www.kpp.kz/. Kazphosphate represents Kazakhstan’s phosphorus industry, the leading company for the manufacture of phosphorus-containing products in the center of the Eurasian continent. Hydrogen and Ammonia fertilizers will be reasonable to deliver from the North Kazakhstan to the South, West and Central Kazakhstan regions, near the Aral Sea region, regions with water resources issues of Kazakhstan. In this case, Hydrogen transportation will be reasonable by its expenses, because it will be transported similarly to energy, oil gas, gasoline, diesel transportation to the gas stations now in Kazakhstan. Hydrogen will be in the category of energy resources, and will be respected by the local people as energy, not cheap water resources, as it is counted now in Kazakhstan by the local people. Water resources are counted as a cheap, mostly free, natural resource in Kazakhstan, that is why the water saving, water efficiency approaches are complicated to implement in Kazakhstan, https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/15/3/482 . The Hydrogen market introduction in Kazakhstan will update people’s attitude and be more efficient with water resources. The Hydrogen engine releases water as output, and this water will be in South, West and Central Kazakhstan regions, near the Aral Sea region, regions with water scarce issues of Kazakhstan. This approach will be more rational instead of construction of different canals, dams, and reservoirs, which are popular activities in Central Asian countries with high evaporation losses, up to 90 % in most Central Asian regions. The released water from the hydrogen engine will require enrichment with the proper amount of fertilizers, where Kazphosphate will need to cooperate with the drip, pivot irrigation technologies production companies. Drip, Pivot irrigation technologies from producers such as Valmont Valley, Zimerman, Reinke, TL irrigation corporations will benefit from the clean Hydrogen energy and high quality Ammonia fertilizers application for their capillary spraying systems without clogging their narrow pipe sprinkle irrigation systems. These connected chains in Hydrogen and Ammonia fertilizers production for Sustainable Agriculture to satisfy the New Global Framework for Managing Nature requirements require experts, technicians, who will work together on these activities. These efforts require the proper TVET (technical and vocational education and training) capacity-building support to use these new sources of energy and fertilizers. The balanced use of natural resources and sustainable use of mineral fertilizers, combined with eco-friendly technologies, including sustainable water usage, a responsible attitude to nature, and biodiversity, require proper knowledge, and advanced irrigation technologies with scientific and TVET support.
