On behalf of the Head of State, at the meeting of the National Kurultai "Adal Adam – Adal enbek – Adal Tabys" in 2024, more than 1,700 kilometers of networks were built, providing access to blue fuel for more than 300 thousand citizens.
Gasification of settlements will improve the quality of life of the population, reduce environmental pollution, save money on the purchase of alternative fuels, and increase the investment attractiveness of the regions.
In 2025, the state allocated 65.9 billion tenge for the implementation of 45 gasification projects in 7 settlements.
The implementation of these projects will increase the country's gasification rate to 62%, or more than 12.4 million people will have access to gas.
One of the major projects is the construction of an automated Finskaya-120 gas control station and a branch line from the main gas pipeline in Atyrau region. The implementation of this project will increase the capacity of the gas pipeline to provide the necessary volume of gas for the European part of Atyrau, which will give a great impetus to the development of the region's industry.
Natural gas improves the environmental situation
The use of natural fuels contributes to the improvement of the environmental situation due to its low level of carbon dioxide emissions, absence of harmful impurities and high energy efficiency compared to coal and fuel oil.
Social responsibility in providing natural gas to the population
As part of the instruction of the Head of State to introduce the "Social Wallet" mechanism, in December 2024, the Government launched a pilot project to provide targeted social and housing assistance to socially vulnerable segments of the population in the form of discounts on commercial gas (up to 24%) in the West Kazakhstan region and Shymkent, thereby reaching more than 6,000 people.. Following the results of the pilot project, this mechanism will be implemented throughout the country.
Construction of the Taldykorgan-Usharal main gas pipeline will be completed in 2025
On behalf of the Head of State, the construction of the Taldykorgan-Usharal gas pipeline with a length of 302 km is continuing ahead of schedule, which will provide natural gas to 66 settlements of the Zhetysu region with a population of 124 thousand people.
This gas pipeline is of strategic importance for the development of the region's industrial infrastructure, including capacity expansion and cost optimization for agricultural production.
The construction of a gas processing plant with a capacity of 1 billion m3/year at the Kashagan field continues.
The project is being implemented as part of the National Crude Gas Processing Program, which will increase oil production by 25,000 barrels per day from the Kashagan field and increase the volume of commercial gas by 700 million m3 per year for domestic consumption.
Construction of a technological complex for the production of liquefied petroleum gas based on the raw materials of the Kashagan field in the amount of up to 700 thousand tons per year has begun.
On behalf of the Head of State, in order to ensure the country's energy security, a strategic agreement was reached between the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Shareholders of the Kashagan field on the construction of a complex for the production of liquefied petroleum gas in the amount of up to 700 thousand tons per year.
Starting in 2026, additional volumes of liquefied petroleum gas will provide the population with autogas and allow the development of the petrochemical industry in the region.
