Clean Energy and Innovation Policy in Kazakhstan (Phase 1)
The project focuses on energy innovation systems, policies, and challenges in Kazakhstan
CLEAN ENERGY AND INNOVATION POLICY IN KAZAKHSTAN (STAGE 1)
Duration: November 2022 – April 2023
Funding Agency: Chevron
Principal Investigator: Prof. Stefanos Xenarios
Research team members: Dr. Stella Tsani, Dr. Serik Orazgaliyev, Dr. Aliya Sembayeva and Zhanat Ansaganova
SDSN Kazakhstan implemented this research project under Chevron’s Transition to Sustainable Energy Program. The project explored national energy innovation systems, policies, and challenges in Kazakhstan, namely:
· Policy priorities and institutions relevant to clean energy technology and innovation in Kazakhstan;
· Challenges and opportunities for Kazakhstan to overcome the significant hydrocarbon dependence and exploit its clean energy innovation and use potential;
· Capabilities of Kazakhstan to be an integral part of the global and regional supply/demand chain for clean energy technologies.
The project researchers conducted a national case study article entitled “Clean Energy Innovation Policies and Institutions in Emerging and Developing Countries: National case study of Samruk Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund”, specifically exploring approaches to achieve carbon neutrality and decrease emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement. The article is planned to be published in the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) series on “Clean energy innovation policies and institutions in emerging economies” in 2024.
