Turkmenistan Develops Laboratory Setup for Hydrogen Production from Natural Gas
06 Oct. 08:26As part of Turkmenistan’s 2022–2023 roadmap for expanding international cooperation in hydrogen energy, the International Oil and Gas University named after Yagshygeldi Kakayev has established a dedicated Hydrogen Energy Center.
The center focuses on training high-level specialists and implementing joint educational and research initiatives in collaboration with top universities, scientific institutions, and energy companies worldwide.
Among its achievements is the successful production of hydrogen fuel using various methods. "Green" hydrogen was obtained via water electrolysis, and an innovative laboratory unit was developed to extract hydrogen from natural gas through a plasma-chemical process.
The resulting hydrogen was tested using an Agilent Technologies 6890 gas chromatograph. Analysis confirmed the presence of both hydrogen and technical carbon, indicating the effectiveness of the conversion method.
In 2025, Turkmenistan’s Ministry of Education signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Tsukuba in Japan to conduct joint research in hydrogen energy. Under this partnership, Turkmen instructors are expected to travel to Japan in 2026 for professional development and participation in specialized training programs.
