On September 24, 2022, a small, but very famous in the oil and gas industry town of Aksai in western Kazakhstan hosted a significant event for the country's industry, the opening of green hydrogen production, first in our country.

Green Spark company, which launched this production, has already introduced new technologies in its activities. For example, in 2021 Green Spark has built and put into operation its own production facilities in Aksai, a distinctive feature of which is the use of alternative energy, namely solar energy for energy supply of the facility.

Having experience, knowledge, technology and desire to implement and use alternative energy sources, Green Spark is a pioneer in production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water in the Republic of Kazakhstan, this method of production is the most environmentally friendly, as the process does not produce atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases affecting global warming, that is an important factor for oil and gas industry in Kazakhstan and the world in the past decade.

The goal of this project is to gain experience, knowledge and attract attention to this energy source and in general to the new emerging of renewable energy industry, given the global movement towards decarbonization in all industry sectors, especially oil and gas.

Green Spark is committed to protecting environment and fighting global climate change by replacing traditional energy sources with green technology, thus creating a new market for developing products and services both in the country and abroad. Today many countries are switching to renewable energy sources, and in Kazakhstan, industry and private sector are beginning to transform, following the trend.

Green Spark is also open to cooperation with other potential partners in this area.

Green Spark is also open to cooperation with other potential partners in this area, for example, in June this year, at the hydrogen forum, organized by National Company "Kazakh Invest" JSC in Astana, an agreement was signed to create a consortium of hydrogen manufacturers, and this agreement was joined by companies representing hydrogen industry and new players that see the future prospects of alternative energy.

In developing the new industry we must not forget about obtaining new knowledge and exchange of experience. Following this trend with the view to creating new cluster of young specialists and engineers, Green Spark signed a memorandum with KazMunaiGaz Engineering LLP on joint study of hydrogen energy, sharing experiences and knowledge, allowing specialists of both companies to expand their knowledge and skills. Under this agreement in November this yearyoung specialists of KazMunaiGaz Engineering LLP will visit the of Green Spark production facilities in Aksai for training and knowledge exchange.

We understand that domestic and international market cannot supply large quantities of this product right now, and we are working to enable other companies to follow this exciting path with us to create a green hydrogen economy in Kazakhstan.
