A Kazakh village creates the energy of the future from wind, sun and water (A popular science essay about a game-changing project)

Prologue: An Energy seed in the Steppe

A revolution is being born in the upper reaches of the Ayaguz River, where the wind drives the waves of the river and the sun melts the horizon. The village of Aygyz (Abai region) is the last place where you expect to find a laboratory of the hydrogen future. But it is here that Zhasyl Sana LLP launches a project that can change the energy sector of Kazakhstan. His philosophy is simple: nature provides everything you need – you just need to take it wisely.

Chapter 1: Technology ahead of time

The heart of the project is the Hysata electrolyzer. This is not just an installation, but the physical embodiment of a brilliant idea.:

"Capillary effect + electrolysis = 95% efficiency"

How does it work?

- Conventional electrolyzers: Gas bubbles "stick" to the electrodes → 30% energy loss.

-Hysata: Water rises through the capillaries like a wick → gas is instantly removed 0 record efficiency.

For Aigyz, this means:

The production of 1 kg of hydrogen requires 41.5 kWh instead of 55-60 kWh for analogues.

Savings = 1000 tenge/kg → the key to profitability.

Energy Supply: Hybrid system:

- Sun: 30 kW panels with "smart" anti-glare coating,

- Wind: 20 kW vertical turbines (VAWT), immune to dust storms,

- AI brain: The algorithm predicts generation in 72 hours, distributing energy between Hysata and storage devices.

Chapter 2: The Social Code: Why Aigyz?

Aygyz is not a random choice. This is a model of rural regeneration through science.:

The problem is the solution of "Zhasyl San"

Youth outflow 8 high-tech jobs + training

Decline of Education School Renewable Energy Laboratory with Access to SCADA Data

Energy shortage Hydrogen generators for farms instead of diesel

- 5 cylinders H₂/day = heating of the paramedic station and refueling of tractors of Aigyz-Agro LLP.

Chapter 3: The Closed-loop Economy

Business model - three income levels:

1. Hydrogen: 1,825 kg/year → for housing and communal services and agricultural machinery.

2. Oxygen: 14.6 tons/year → medicine (CRH Ayaguza) + fish farming.

3. Data: The sale of statistics on Hysata's work in extreme climates (-40°C) → the interest of H₂Global (Germany).

Numbers:

- Payback period: 5 years → 4 years with a grant from Astana Hub.

- Scale effect: By 2027 — 50 kg/day + export to China via Khorgos.

Chapter 4: Scientific breakthrough "made in Kazakhstan"

The project solves problems that are important for the whole of Central Asia:

1. Survivability Test: How Hysata will behave when:

- Temperature -45°C (cylinder heating design),

- Sandstorms (daily cleaning of sensors).

2. Field cryptocurrency: Blockchain accounting for the production of H₂ → "green" certificates.

3. Biodiversity: Monitoring the impact on the ecosystem of the Chingiztau plateau.

"This is open—air R&D," says Technical Director Oran Dzhumakhunov.

Why is this important for Kazakhstan?

"Zhasyl Sana" is not just the production of hydrogen. This:

- A social elevator for the forgotten villages,

- Technological sovereignty in green energy,

- The proof: The nature of Kazakhstan is its main wealth.

As Director Zhursin Kadyrbek says

"The oil will run out. The wind and the sun are eternal. Our mission is to turn the Abai steppe into an energy factory of the future."

The pilot in Aigyz will start in 2025. If it works, Zharma, Aksuat, and Kurchum will follow this path. This is a chance not to catch up with global trends, but to set them. After all, the future is not being created in megacities, but in places where the wind sings in the wires and hydrogen smells of freedom.
