Do you think it possible and safe to hang this cabinet on this wall with no support below it?
It is 38 x 90 x 100cm and weighs something like 30kg, It is intended to fill it with dishes and such so it'll get even heavier. The wall is reinforced concrete.
I've looked around at videos and forums for advice but can't find anything definitive and I don't want to whole thing falling off the wall in the middle of the night.
If it is possible then what are correct type of supports to use? Thanks for any help and advice.
Edit after reading all the answers and comments:
I accepted an answer which I think seems good for fixing something like this to a concrete wall, but I have my doubts about the structural integrity of this cabinet floating on a wall (full of crockery) after examining it further and so I'm going to find a table or base cabinet for it instead. Thanks to everyone for your great input.

@Ralpharama- Use concrete screws (Tap-Cons) specifically the larger diameter screws that use a 3/16th inch concrete bit. You won't have to use as many screws so less drilling.
Also use the the Tap-Cons with a hex head
. They are easier to drive with the proper driver and don't strip-out as much as the Philips head screws.
Finally, you want to drill pilot holes into the frame pieces along the back of the unit (cupboard). Not the back panel, but the thicker frame. Dill 7/16ths-1/4 inch pilot holes with a wood bit. Possibly 3 on the left and right side and 1 top and bottom.
It would be wise to construct some sort of temporary support device (5 gallon buckets, crates, chairs, etc.) that you can set the cupboard on at he height you desire. It's easier to drill.
With your concrete bit start drilling through the pilot holes into the wall once you are satisfied with the location. You'll want a helper holding it to the wall. When drilling just drill enough to mark the wall. Do this for all the drill holes. Remove the cup board and than complete drilling to the appropriate screw depth.
Use a long enough screw so that at least an inch of the screw length is secured into the wall. (example: my wood frame is 3/4 inches thick so I need an 1 3/4 inch tapcon.)
Hint: wrap a pirce of tape around your tap con bit that is slightly (1/16th inch) deeper than your screw to act as a depth gauge.
Lastly (again), buy an extra tapcon bit if your drilling several holes. The quality has diminished and they dull quickly. Don't over torque when tightening screws as they can strip out.
