Chemical technology and ecology faculty of the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International oil and gas university was founded in 2012.
The departments of General chemistry,Chemical technology of oil and gas processing,Industrial ecology,and Social sciences function at the faculty.The faculty graduates engineers-chemists-technologists in the specialty of "Chemical technology of oil and gas refining",engineers-ecologists-technologists in the specialty of "Environmental protection and rational use of natural resources", engineers-technologists in the specialty of "Standardization and certification",bachelors in the direction of "Chemical technology","Standardization and metrology", as well as and masters in the direction of "Technology for processing of hydrocarbon gases".After graduation,they work in the state concerns Türkmengaz,Türkmennebit of the oil and gas complex of Turkmenistan,the state concern Türkmenhimiýa,research institutes, as well as in the relevant management industry organizations.
At the basic departments of the faculty opened at the Institute of chemistry and the Technology Center of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, students consolidate the theoretical knowledge in production, actively participate in research and design work.
Research activities at the faculty are carried out in priority areas of science.From the research works provided by the action plan to implement the State Program for the Comprehensive Development of Chemical Science and Technology in Turkmenistan for 2021-2025, the departments of the faculty carry out research works on the topics:“Development of methods for the beneficial use of alkaline residues formed in the complex of oil refineries in Turkmenbashi city”,“Development of scientific bases for the utilization of mineral oils used in production”,“Development of methods for obtaining and using magnesium products from local raw materials”,“Development of methods for the environmentally rational use of saline groundwater by reusing them”,“Development of methods for the integrated utilization of industrial waters of Turkmenistan”,“Innovative technology for the extraction of decorative stones from local raw materials”, “Scientific foundations for the systematic use of hydrocarbon gases”.
In 2022, the Center for Hydrogen energy was established at the faculty in accordance with the plan of the "Roadmap for the development of international cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy of Turkmenistan for 2022-2023", approved by the President of Turkmenistan.This center studies the world experience in the production of hydrogen energy and the possibility of its productioninour country in the future.
According to the program of the center, seminars,meetings and consultations with large foreign companies are held via a digital network (online).The Center also took part in the development of the National strategy project for the development of hydrogen energy in Turkmenistan.Currently,relevant work is implemented to establish international cooperation with the “Sustainable Gas Institute” of the “Imperial College London” on the scientific topic “Innovative technologies for producing hydrogen energy from natural gas”.
The classrooms of the Chemical technology and ecology faculty are provided with modern equipment.There are classrooms for diploma and term projects, language and computer classes, as well as 20 laboratories designed for educational and research activities.
At the Chemical technology and ecology faculty, there are classes promoting the works of the Hero Arkadag, the domestic and foreign policy of our Esteemed President, the study of the philosophy of Magtymguly's creativity, as well as scientific classes where students study natural resources and the development of the chemical industry of our country using multimedia devices.
The results of research conducted by teachers and students of the facultyare published in domestic and foreign journals in the form of abstracts and articles.
Also, teachers and students actively participate in events at the international and state level.
