The society of Kazakhstan has been becoming strongly dependent on fossil fuels, which results in facing serious environmental problems. Kazakhstan is a Central Asian country with rich natural resources, such as Mn, Cr and Ti and energy self-sufficiency is 200% including exportation. Most of the consumption is fossil resources, mainly dependent on coal. The power configuration of Kazakhstan is 70% coal, 19% natural gas, 1% oil, and 10% hydraulic power. With a background of rich production of fossil fuels, Kazakhstan exports most of its oil and domestically dependent on coal. By 2020, Kazakhstan government planning to reduce the amount of green house gas produces by 15% of that in 1992. For these reasons, the development of renewable energy is significant. In this study we focus on the application of hydrogen as an energy carrier for spreading renewable energy, especially hydrogen energy to solve the environmental problems in Kazakhstan. Hydrogen has more energy per unit of mass, flexible storage options, and it is clean energy. Hydrogen can be stored as a gas, a liquid and as a solid. The other side, for realization hydrogen energy system we need to think more concretely about a manufacture of hydrogen, storage, transportation and utilization. The main manufacture method for hydrogen is electrolysis. The electricity consumption per capita is 5000 kWh/year. If hydrogen energy become a conductor of energy, 1.13m3/year of water will necessary to source of hydrogen. After utilizing renewable energy for product hydrogen from water, storage, transport and change to electric power. In the end of consumption, we get the same amount of water. In this study, especially conditions necessary for the renewable energy in Kazakhstan are summarized and trained to preparing hydrogen storage ally using the metals of Mn, Cr and Ti available in Kazakhstan.
