Energy

The traditionally strong oil and gas sector in Kazakhstan is undergoing a transition towards a greener and sustainable economy and towards less dependence on oil and gas. Kazakhstan is diversifying its economy and this opens perspectives for other sectors such as renewable energy and green technology including energy efficiency, and energy saving. Kazakhstan is a country of high potential for the development of renewable energy sources. The energy transition aims to increase the share of alternative and renewable energy in the country's energy balance to 15% in 2030 and to 50% in 2050. The expertise of Dutch specialists with a strong international focus and global experience offers to Kazakhstan it’s support in reaching this goal.
