Go Net Zero Energy Central Asia and Caspian Summit

At the Forefront of the Energy Transition: Linking Policy, Capital, and Infrastructure

The Go Net Zero Energy Central Asia & Caspian Summit covers the entire low-carbon value chain, tracking how national energy giants and heavy industries are pivoting from volume-driven to value-driven strategies to navigate CBAM regulations and anchor regional energy sovereignty.

With initiatives moving into the implementation phase—including deep-sea cross-border grids, regional CCUS hubs, Green Hydrogen projects, and high-efficiency water recycling technologies—the region’s downstream and upstream sectors face a structural reset. This makes collaboration and technology transfer more critical than ever.

This business platform brings the regional energy ecosystem together to connect, build strategic partnerships, and secure the financing and technology needed to execute projects.

KEY TOPICS

The 2030 Roadmap: Building Regional Power

We’ll discuss how the region is moving from just selling raw materials to producing high-value "green" products for Europe and China, ensuring its own independence and economic growth.

Decarbonisation: From Theory to Action

We will discuss the steps to make oil and gas production cleaner and avoid new "carbon taxes" from the EU. Real cases on how to stop gas flaring and switch factories to renewable power to keep products competitive on the global market.

Water: The Lifeblood of Industry

Solving the water crisis to keep factories running. In a region with water shortages, industry cannot survive without recycling. We will show how new plants can reuse 99% of their water and turn seawater into a reliable resource.

The Green Energy Bridge: Connecting the Caspian to Europe

This session addresses the engineering and financial challenges of laying deep-sea cables across the Caspian and Black Seas. We will evaluate the most efficient export routes: direct electricity transmission versus the logistics of shipping Green Ammonia from regional "Green Hubs."

Future Growth: Hydrogen and Local Production

How to start producing Green Hydrogen at scale and how to build the region’s own factories for high-tech catalysts so it doesn't depend on imports.

Conference

Emma McFarlane

Director of Business Development

HG Motive

The Globuc Hydrogen Conference was well-organised, featuring engaging and informative speakers. It was a great opportunity to learn from industry experts and gain valuable insights.

Issa Kudaibekov

SMM Manager

Svevind

I’d like to thank the organisers for the insightful presentations, especially from our American colleagues, including USAID. They presented the concept of "fertile valleys," which is a great approach. The European experience was also valuable, where zones for developing the hydrogen economy are determined by taking into account resources such as renewable energy, water, and potential consumers.

Marco Castagnini

Business Development Director

Green Spark

The conference was very interesting. I attended and spoke last year as well, and I have to say that this year, there’s definitely more awareness about green hydrogen. What stands out for me is that people are now discussing topics that weren’t even considered before in this region.

Thomas Fontfreyde

Delivery Manager

Genesis

I found the conference very interesting and comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics with high-quality discussions. All the presentations were excellent, making it hard to single out one as better than the others. This was my first time in Kazakhstan and at this conference, and I’m very happy to have been part of it.

Elchin Targuluyev

Socar Green

Business Development Specialist

New companies in Azerbaijan are focusing on green energy, including green hydrogen. For me, the highlight of this event was seeing the latest technologies, developments in hydrogen, and the challenges we face. It's clear that the challenges we encounter in Azerbaijan are shared by hydrogen providers worldwide, which reassures us that we are on the right path.

See you in Astana!

8 September 2026

The summit will be held at Rixos President Astana, a well-established five-star hotel in the city centre
