en.Wedoany.com Reported - Atyrau Oil and Gas University in Kazakhstan signed a memorandum of cooperation with Shanghai Aiko New Energy in China to launch a zero-carbon smart agriculture demonstration park project.
The project integrates new energy, artificial intelligence, and water-saving agricultural technologies, focusing on agricultural upgrades in arid and water-scarce regions. It represents a key initiative in cross-border green technology cooperation between China and Kazakhstan, supporting the modernization and economic diversification of Kazakhstan's agriculture.
Industry-Academia-Research Implementation, Multi-Technology System Simultaneously Deployed
The two parties will jointly build the AIKO-AOGU Zero-Carbon Smart Agriculture Demonstration Park and a joint research, teaching, and exhibition center at the Atyrau campus.
The first phase of the project plans to construct solar greenhouses and demonstration agricultural land, equipped with intelligent water and fertilizer management, water resource recycling, photovoltaic energy storage, and a digital monitoring and management platform.
The park will integrate photovoltaic energy, AI intelligent management, and automated farming technologies, while simultaneously exploring diversified aquaculture models adapted to the local arid and water-scarce climate conditions. It will also provide an international scientific research and practical operation platform for university faculty and students.
Regional Agriculture Under Pressure, Urgent Need for Green Transformation
The Atyrau region has an arid climate and scarce water resources, with traditional agricultural production suffering from low efficiency and weak resilience to risks.
Kazakhstan is currently vigorously promoting industrial diversification to reduce resource dependence, with a key focus on advancing low-carbon and intelligent agricultural upgrades.
Leveraging renewable energy and smart agricultural technologies to transform traditional practices has become a core pathway for the country to enhance grain production capacity, implement sustainable development strategies, and establish itself as a green innovation hub in Central Asia.
Technology Going Global and Taking Root, Improving Regional Innovation Ecosystem
On the industrial side, Aiko New Energy leverages its advantages in photovoltaic and zero-carbon technologies to enter the new track of smart agriculture in Central Asia, achieving cross-sector application of new energy scenarios and expanding its overseas green technology export landscape.
For Kazakhstan, the project establishes a localized platform for testing and transforming green technologies, addressing gaps in smart agricultural technology. It helps position Atyrau as a highland for renewable energy innovation in Central Asia, empowering agricultural quality and efficiency improvement through climate-adaptive technologies, and solidifying the foundation for long-term sustainable development.
