In Astana, Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kanat Sharlapayev met with representatives of the Swiss company TERRA-A AG. The parties discussed the possibilities of using innovative technologies to search for underground resources in Kazakhstan.
TERRA-A AG specializes in remote exploration of the subsurface using electromagnetic exploration and satellite imagery. Their technologies are used to detect sources of fresh water, precious metals like gold and diamonds, rare materials like lithium and copper, as well as to assess the environmental situation and monitor climate change.
During the meeting, the participants expressed their willingness to work together on the search for white hydrogen. This type of hydrogen occurs naturally as a gas that can be found in underground deposits. Unlike synthetic hydrogen, which is produced through chemical processes, white hydrogen is extracted from natural sources, making it a potential environmentally friendly energy source in the future.
Next, TERRA-A AG presented its platform for geophysical spectral analysis, which allows exploring underground resources. During the discussion, the prospects of using these technologies to search for new energy sources were also considered.
The Minister expressed interest in using advanced technologies for effective prospecting and exploration of mineral resources and stressed the importance of research in the field of hydrogen energy, which can become an important element in ensuring Kazakhstan's energy security in the future.
