REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Barrier Analysis and Enabling Framework FOR MITIGATION TECHNLOGIES July 2016 Supported by: Barriers Analysis and Enabling Framework. Kazakhstan Disclaimer This document is an output of the Technology Needs Assessment project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UNEP DTU Partnershipin collaboration with the Regional Centre, Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand for the benefit of the participating countries. The present report is the output of a fully country-led process and the views and information contained herein are a product of the National TNA team, led by the Climate Change Coordination Center (C4) and the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. 2 Barriers Analysis and Enabling Framework. Kazakhstan Preface Kazakhstan is rich in oil, coal, gas and uranium resources to provide affordable energy supply to economy development. Share of power production by sources in 2013 was as follows: on coal - 73.2%; gas - 18.4%; Large Hydro Power - 8.1%; Renewable energy sources (RES) (including small hydro power) - 0.3% ( about 570 million kWh). The energy sector of Kazakhstan is the most carbon intensive because power generation is mostly coal based; Nevertheless, Kazakhstan took a course on the development of the Green Economy and incorporated the environment issues into all strategic documents. The Government of Kazakhstan is implementing policy of supporting renewable energy sources (RES) development since 2013, considers the new technologies of more efficient combustion of coal- the prevailing fuel used in energy sector. It also looks at increasing local content while implementing the “State Program on Industrial Development of Kazakhstan for 2015-2019” (further “the Program” or SPAIID-2) which is the main driver of Kazakhstan economy development. Principles of “Green Economy” development are incorporated in all strategic documents and a number government support mechanisms for innovative and energy saving technologies are provided by the legislation. The strategic targets, such as: 3% of RES in total electricity production and 25% reduction of energy intensity of GDP by 2020 are in our focus. However, specific measures are necessary in order to overcome barriers to introducing prioritized technologies in the power production and cement production sub-sectors in order to contribute to voluntary overall target to reduce 7% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below 1990 level by 2020 and 15% reduction by 2025 compared with the 1992 GHG emissions level. Implementation of pilot projects will reduce electricity shortages in the energy deficit regions, provide coverage of semi-peak loads, increase power quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, during construction and operation, additional jobs will be created. 3 Barriers Analysis and Enabling Framework.
