Astana. 7 September. Kazakhstan Today - The International center of green technologies, which will deal with the task of transforming the energy sector and transition to the "green" business will be established on the base of the EXPO in the near month. It was announced by Minister of energy of Kazakhstan Kanat Bosumnayev at an opening ceremony of the IXth Eurasian forum "Kazenergy".
According to Kanat Bozumbayev, the fuel and energy sector will comprise up to 19 trillion tenge only for the next 17-25 years, 97% out of which are provided by private investments.
"By the way, the strategy of Kazakhstan is focused not only on high indicators of the traditional energy sector, but also on the step-by-step development of alternative sources, including renewable sources of energy. During the last year, the alternative energy sector has received considerable support from the Government of our country. Many leading companies, as well as important business-directions of traditional sources of energy conduct planned diversification towards renewable sources of energy", the Minister of energy said.
According to the Head of the Ministry of energy, Kazakhstan has been actively introducing alternative and renewable sources to the energy balance, the proportion of which should be 3% totally by 2020, 10% by 2030 and 50% by 2050.
The International center of green technologies, which will be created in the next month will deal with the matters of transition to the green business.
"The experience of large corporations, with which we have been cooperating for a long time in the oil and gas industry, will undoubtedly be useful to us in this sector and we have held the relevant talks, we conduct them more now. Companies like ENI, Shell, they expect to increase their activity in this sector, too. On the basis of the EXPO, an International center of green technologies and investment projects of the future energy will be created in the next month, which will deal with the tasks of transforming the energy sector and transition to the green business. It will cooperate with the industrially developed member-countries of the OECD. Cooperation with Russia, China, the United States, India, Latin America will be a worthy continuation of the EXPO experience. The center will be focused not only on Kazakhstan, but on the entire Central Asian region. Of course, we feel the influence on making responsible decisions on the further development of the industry. I am confident that by joint efforts we will be able to build a reliable foundation for an effective energy future, which will be cleaner, greener, it is precisely this kind of the future that we are obliged to provide to the next generation of power engineers", the Minister concluded.
We note that today the IXth Eurasian forum "Kazenergy" on the theme "Creating future energy" has begun its work in the capital.

Olzhas Bektenov discusses water resources management issues with Heads of Diplomatic Missions of European Union countries
The scale and consequences of the natural disaster require from us radically new approaches for the proper use of resources and avoidance of similar incidents in the future. In this matter we are particularly interested in the best practices and experience of European countries and companies. It is important to synchronise the efforts of the Government of Kazakhstan with the assistance programmes of the European Union," Olzhas Bektenov said.
The water issue is in the priority of our co-operation with Central Asia. Like other natural resources, water must have its price in order to be used efficiently. This will stimulate the introduction of more efficient technologies, and many European companies are ready to work in this direction," Kestutis Jankauskas said and confirmed the readiness to ensure the transfer of knowledge and technologies in the field of sustainable management of water basins and rivers.
The Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has set a task for the Government - to develop the agro-industrial complex and ensure rational use of water resources. Agriculture and food industry are among the most important sectors of our economy. We have a huge potential for the production of high-quality and organic agricultural products and foodstuffs. We are interested in increasing food exports to the EU market. Taking into account the advanced agrarian technologies of European companies, we invite you to create joint projects for the production and processing of agricultural products. For our part, we are ready to make every effort to create a favourable environment for doing business," Olzhas Bektenov said.
