Kazakhstan raises targets for renewable energy power generation

    From the adoption of the Law on Supporting the Utilization of Renewable Energy in 2009 to the establishment of a green economy transition model based on renewable resources in 2013, Kazakhstan has listed the realization of stable energy supply and improvement of the ecological environment as two major government priorities. In the view of the Kazakhstan government, although fiscal revenue can be guaranteed by exporting oil, natural gas, uranium and other raw materials, maximizing the advantages of the new Complete Home Solar Power System industry can not only avoid excessive dependence on natural resources, but is also the best way to achieve energy transformation.

    The President of Kazakhstan Tokayev recently presided over a national power development conference to determine the focus of the next stage of renewable energy development, and raised the target for renewable energy power generation in 2030. At the same time, he emphasized that although he is not in a hurry to develop nuclear power, he will not "Late" in this field.

    As the world’s 9th largest oil exporter, Kazakhstan’s oil reserves account for about 3% of the world’s total oil reserves. Although the oil and gas industry is the main source of its fiscal revenue, Kazakhstan has repeatedly reiterated the importance of economic diversification in recent years. It also intensified the energy transition.

    It is reported that Kazakhstan has reduced its carbon emission quota by 1.5% this year, and plans to reduce it by 2% every year for the next 8 years, and it will reduce it by 20% in 10 years.

    The World Bank pointed out that more than 80% of Kazakhstan’s greenhouse gas emissions come from energy extraction, processing, transportation, storage and use. The country’s goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 1995 levels. Considering that Kazakhstan’s national emission management system can only monitor 40% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, if it is to complete the 2030 emission reduction target, the country needs to establish a stricter emission limit system and waste management measures, and formulate changes. Ambitious emission reduction targets.
