The UK Government’s CCUS strategy risks locking consumers into a high-cost, fossil-based future, despite cleaner and cheaper alternatives being available.

This report focuses on Kazakhstan’s energy transition pathway and provides a perspective that strikes a balance between the cost of energy, reliability of supply, and environmental sustainability. It also highlights the economic risks of continued support for coal-fired generation and the need for international funding to help with the country’s just transition. Although Kazakhstan’s individual contribution to global emissions is relatively limited, being similar to Spain or France, emissions intensity relative to GDP is very high with the energy sector being the core source of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the country with a share of 82.4% (and fuel combustion responsible for 70.5% of overall country GHG emissions). The Central Asian region is also extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌​​​‌‍​‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​​​​‍‌​‍‌​​‍‌‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‍​​​​‌‍​​​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌​​​‌‍​‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​​​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​​​​‍‌​‍‌​​‍‌‍​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‍​​​​‌‍​​​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌​‍‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‌
