COP 7 decision on Kazakhstan status: Upon ratification of the KP by Kazakhstan and its entry into
force, Kazakhstan becomes a Party in Annex1 for purpose of this Protocol in accordance with Ar.,pr.7 of
the KP. The COP recognized that Kazakhstan will continue to be a Party not included in Annex1 for
purposes of the Convention.MoU between NEDO&Kazakhstan to implement JI_CDM project in Uralsk

Harrikein Company(PETROKAZAKSTAN) project
on utilization of the associated gas at Kumkol field
with the expected GHG emissions reduction about
500 thousand tons per year (planned investments –
about 35 million USD).
Model energy saving project at Uralsk
CHPS, performed by Japanese Government
Company “NEDO” in cooperation with the
KAZ Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources ,expected GHG emissions
reduction 62 thousand tons per year
(investments amount to 15 million USD).

National Priorities
 Creation of legal basis for realization of economic mechanisms for natural resources
management using the new law on atmospheric air protection;
 Approval and introduction of internal procedures for consideration, assessment,
verification, monitoring and validation of CDM/JI projects on GHG reduction;
 Integration of GHG inventory in the national statistical reporting system and the national
system of environmental monitoring;
 Development of the National Strategy on greenhouse gas emission reduction and
improvement of energy-efficiency.
It is also needed:
1. To develop a target short-term program on energy-saving and greenhouse gas emission
reduction;
2. To develop Feasibility Studies and to launch pilot projects on GHG emission reduction, the
top priority directions for projects are:
Energy-efficiency and energy-saving in cities both in the sector of energy
production and in the sector of energy consumption;
Energy supply in rural areas through introduction of autonomous systems using
small energy resources: mini hydropower stations, wind stations, small diesel plants,
etc.;
Construction of large wind power stations;
Utilization of associate gas on oil fields;
Utilization of mine methane ;
Program Objectives and
Components -- Kazakhstan
Improve environmental conditions by creating a
favorable investment climate for GHG offset
projects
(a clear, rationale system)
1) Create national carbon management structure -institutions, policies, authorities
2) Design and institutionalize transparent
procedures for offset projects
3) Establish a project pipeline; pre-screen
4) Market the pipeline to potential investors
Accomplishments in
Kazakhstan

• Contacts w/JI&CDM offices around world
• Draft MOUs with Dutch, World Bank, others
• Training/seminars in project prep, JI/CDM
methodologies
• Project Developer’s Manual Distributed
• CDM/JI Baseline Assessment, Validation,
Monitoring, Verification and Certification
procedures accepted as basis for official standards
Accomplishments in
Kazakhstan (2)
